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 and experience our worship this Sunday (18 May) at 9.30am, led by Rev Lindsay Sheppard, and hear one of the most powerful commands given by Jesus - calling us to love with selflessness, humility and forgiveness, setting an example for the world to see. Christian love, as commanded by Jesus in John 13:34-35, is a defining aspect of our faith, characterized by genuine care for both God and others.
As per our practice on the third Sunday of the month, during the service Rev Sheppard will lead us in the celebration of Holy Communion, also known as the Lord’s Supper. The offer to share in this symbolic meal of bread and wine is open to anyone "who loves the Lord and wants to love Jesus more".
After the service we gather in the auditorium for a cuppa and biscuits. If you are visiting or are new please join us and get to know us.
Bible Readings: Acts 11: 1-18 Psalm 148 Revelation 21: 1-6 John 13: 31-35
