A visit
What to expect…
Wherever you are at in life, whatever your background, whether you are new or just visiting we want to promise you a warm welcome. We meet together every Sunday at 10 am. We’d love you to join us. We are not a large church- currently 30 -50 people of all ages. After church, there is a cuppa in Hadfields Hall next to the church, where most stay. We always make our visitors very welcome.
All Saints Kids
We have a play space up the front where parents are welcome to sit with their children while they play or use the streamers and children’s musical instruments in worship. Usually, they go out for a session in the hall using a creative, structured learning technique called Godly Play. They come back in time for communion with their parents.
Holy Communion
Being an Anglican Church Holy Communion is important to us. We use a contemporary liturgy that is simple and visitor-friendly. You are most welcome to take communion if you love the Lord Jesus. We offer gluten-free bread for those who want it ( please ask ), grape juice or wine in small cups and the common cup.
Worship
We have the services of Merrick Stein ( HOD of music at Paraparumu College) on piano and his grandson Sam on bass. We use video clips and often have a song to help us reflect before the service starts. All our worship music is linked to the bible readings and the season we are in as a church, which is why the songs are quite different in style and age.
Family focus service
Usually on the fourth Sunday, we have an intergenerational/family-style service that is focused on the children who worship with us ( being one of our values!). After church at the family service, we have a “pizza”. or something similar for lunch which is proving very popular.
