We worship as a community at Manning Uniting Church every Sunday at 9.30am. All are welcome.
Our Worship Service involves participation, both formally and informally. Music, singing, words and images are part of our worship.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of the month. The offer to share in the Lord's meal of bread and wine/juice is open to anyone "who loves the Lord and wants to love Jesus more".
Following the service everyone is invited for a cuppa and to enjoy conversation and community time in the auditorium. 
All are welcome to come along to our Worship Service at 9.30am. Our worship leader is Bill Hennessy from The Hunter. A warm welcome to Bill and Lyn today!
Bible Readings: Acts 10:44-48 John 15:9-17
Today is the sixth Sunday of Easter – a joyous season that takes us all the way to Pentecost when the gift of the Holy Spirit comes to Cornelius and his household, and they are baptised.
As we approach Pentecost Sunday on 19th May, the Gospel reading today helps us understand that Jesus is our bond of love with the Father and with one another. Jesus shows us the way to live full and happy lives by living in love - love of God and love of neighbour.
After our morning worship everyone is invited to stay behind for a time of connecting with each other over a cuppa.
