What are your services like?

At St George’s Church

6pm church (and 5:30pm Christmas Eve) is contemporary in style and language with a less formal feel. Meetings last generally 1½ hours.

8:30am church (and 8:00am Christmas Day) is traditional in structure (Prayer Book), music (hymns) and style. Meetings are generally 90 minutes long.

10:30am English church (and 10am Christmas Day) is contemporary in style, music and language with a family feel. There are programmes for school age children (during term time). Meetings are generally about 75 minutes long.

10:30am Korean church (and 10:30am Christmas Day) is for people who speak Korean. Meetings are generally 90 minutes long.

All of our services contain the elements of creed, prayer, Bible readings and sermon in the evangelical Anglican tradition.

What are your COVID precautions

Livestream if Unwell/Unsure: We’d love to see you in person, but please attend via Livestream if unwell or showing any symptoms or have health concerns.

Hands, Masks, Distance: Hand sanitiser and masks are available (Masks are currently mandatory). Maintain social distance where possible.

Ventilation: The building will be well ventilated – if the weather is cold rug up!

What do I do with the kids?

Kids, like everyone else, are part of the church family and welcome in our church services.

At our 10:30am services, Mac4Kids starts 15 minutes before the service. It will run until the end of the service.

Our 6:00pm service is very popular with teenagers and young adults. While it doesn’t have a children’s program, lounges & a room with an audio feed to the main hall are available for parents to use.

School Holidays: During the School Holidays we celebrate our intergenerational church family with All Age services at our 10:30am services. These usually include simpler lyrics & liturgy, all age activities, and a shorter sermon (during which related activities are provided for children).

What happens in a normal church meeting?

We know a first visit to church can be a bit daunting or confusing. So here’s what to expect…

We’ll say hello when you arrive, after the service, and sometimes there’s an informal welcome time in the meeting.
Pending on the restriction level, we’ll sing, usually two or three Christian songs during the service. Sing along if able or just listen.
We’ll pray. Some prayers are in a book or on the screen; others are led from the front. Just listen in; you don’t have to pray out loud.
We’ll hear updates on church news and upcoming events. There’s a newsletter, too.
We’ll hear some passages from the Bible read.
We’ll listen to a Bible talk (about 20 minutes).

We’d love you to join us one Sunday.

What should I wear to church?

Please wear whatever you feel comfortable in. (For instance, jeans and a shirt would be great.) We’re a mixed group of young and old, workers, retirees, professionals, students, families and so on.

What if I don't know my way around the Bible or share your beliefs?

We can’t think of a better place for you to learn about Jesus. Let us know where you’re up to in your exploration. No one will be pushy; we’re delighted to help.

Leaders are happy to offer resources or meet with you. You may like to join a Simply Christianity course, or even a small Bible study group. Just ask.

You won’t need to be familiar with the Bible to participate in our meetings. We have Bibles in the seats, and readers will give you page numbers for the readings.

Nobody is going to be offended if you ask honest questions or raise issues (whatever they might be). And if you just want to attend for a while and find your feet, that’s great, too.

What if English is my second language?

Our 11:30am Korean service is conducted in Korean. Our 8:30am, 10:30am and 6:00pm services are in English. If you find we speak too quickly, please let us know. If you find we speak too quickly, please let us know. We have some Mandarin or Cantonese speakers who can assist, and perhaps you might like to join a small group using easier English. We don’t want you to miss the great truths about Jesus!

Who finances Macquarie Anglican?

If you’re visiting, not you! We don’t ask visitors to contribute financially; please feel no obligation to do so.

The majority of our income is voluntary contributions by church members (via a collection during the service or by electronic banking). Our main expenses are staff costs and building maintenance. We also encourage members to give to Christian mission agencies. We don’t receive any direct financial support from the wider Anglican church.

Regular Sunday morning service times resume on 29 December 2024 • 6pm service returns Feb 2025
All services meet at 100 Balaclava Road, Eastwood.
