Our 8am service is a traditional Anglican Prayer Book service, where we engage with the liturgy from various forms of the Anglican Prayer Book. We enjoy singing traditional songs with the organ accompaniment. We have celebrate the Lord’s Supper on weeks 1 and 3 of the month, and have fellowship with one another at morning tea in the Auditorium hall on weeks 2 and 4.
Our 8am gathering meets in the Historic Church. The main entrance is located on Church St. Underground parking is available (via Gowrie St). From the carpark, access to the Historic Church is via the internal Auditorium foyer or externally along Church St. Untimed street parking is available on the surrounding streets. There are dedicated ground-level disability parking spots in the external carpark on Church St between the Auditorium and the Historic Church.
We rotate through the various forms of the Anglican Prayer book, with a celebration of the Lord’s Supper twice a month.
Our organist leads us through our traditional hymns which come from across the centuries, using our historic pipe organ.
We worship in our sandstone Historic Church which is almost 200 years old. It is full of tradition, history and charm.
As you enter the Historic Church, our welcomers will greet you and give you a bulletin handout. You can choose where you’d like to sit. If you’re early enough, you can enjoy having a conversation with someone nearby or listening to the organ playing hymns.
During the service, there will be hymns, liturgy and prayers. We will read the Bible and have it explained to us. There is also an opportunity to respond and engage with the staff team through a feedback form. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper twice a month.
We move to the hall across the yard to enjoy morning tea together in the weeks when we don’t have the Lord’s Supper. Tea, coffee and light refreshments are provided. Our couch corner is a comfortable space for group conversations.
This term, we will be exploring the book of James, considering what it looks like to have an undivided life. Everyone is welcome to join. Our Connect Group studies will follow along with the series.
An underground car park with 40 car spaces (including 2 accessible spaces) has direct access to the Auditorium via the internal stairs or external lift. The carpark entry is on Gowrie St. There are also dedicated ground-level disability parking spots in the external carpark on Church St between the Auditorium and the Historic Church. Free untimed street parking surrounding the property is available on Sundays.
We start at 8am and finish around 9:10am. Morning tea in the hall continues after the service every second week and you can stay for as long as you like.
There is no dress code so you are free to wear something comfortable.
There are moments of active participation in our service where we will stand and sing, read aloud liturgy or creeds or prayers, and take part in the Lord’s Supper. You are free to be as involved as you want.
Children are welcome at our 8am service, however, we do not have a program or a breakout space for young children. At our 10am service, we have a program for children of preschool age, as well as primary school age. We start off together as a church family in the service, before children are invited to join the programs in the Auditorium classrooms. Check out our Children’s Ministry.
We welcome all types of babies at St Annes. We encourage parents with babies to remain in the main church gathering, even if your child is making noise. However, our Historic Church is not set up with baby changing room facilities (which is available at our 10am service). Check out our Children’s Ministry.
