A visit
What to expect…
Worship with drums, piano, 2 trumpets and bass on June 8
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 around 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.On the fourth Sunday of each month we have a pizza or soup ( in winter) lunch together.
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.
Our Children’s Ministry is led by Laurie-ann and her team.They offer the children the opportunity to learn about Jesus through interactive stories. We explore the scriptures in an inviting way. Providing opportunities for the children to grow and learn about their relationship with Jesus Christ. After our story time we enjoy crafts or games.Come along and check it out! Happening every Sunday within School term.
We have an all age service on the last Sunday of every month followed by a shared meal, normally Pizza.
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 grandsons Sam on bass and Eli and Noah on trumpet. 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.
