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.

We are holding a special ‘Blessing of the Animals’ service here at Manning Uniting on the morning of St Francis of Assisi Sunday, 5th October, offering a unique opportunity to:

  • Grieve the devastating loss of animal life during the 2025 floods
  • Honour those in the front line of animal care
  • Give thanks for beloved companion animals who are no longer with us and
  • Celebrate and bless our present animal companions!

All are welcome: fins, feathers and fur!  If you’d like to, please bring a photo of a beloved past pet – or a current animal companion – or a photo of an animal whose conservation in the wild you particularly care about.

You might also choose to bring a pet to the service for individual blessing. Relatively small, calm and safely-controlled pets – crated or leashed – only, please, but there will be access to our outside grass area in case of stress or toileting needs!

If you’d like to donate some small pet care items (food, toys etc) that might bless an animal (or a human companion doing it tough), this would be a great chance.

Or just come and see Rev Claire in full Vicar of Dibley mode!

Please pass this invitation on to any farmers, wildlife carers or others who you think would benefit from – or enjoy! – this service.
