Beaconsfield Parish
We welcome people in the name of Jesus Christ in a way that proclaims the Gospel afresh for each generation. We are people seeking deeper community within the church and beyond it. We seek to affirm and welcome all people, regardless of culture, language, financial position, visa status, gender identity, sexual identity, religion, race, ability or mental health. . We are open to engaging with the questions that point toward the Divine in all life, sharing diverse views within the Christian tradition, learning from other faiths, and valuing the perspectives of people who hold no religious beliefs. Our conversations include fundamental questions: How does my spiritual practice and daily life serve the earth? the poorest third of humanity? the generations to come in the future?
Sunday Worship
If it has been a while since you have been to church, or you have never been, you may be wondering about the flavour of our Sunday Service. In some ways, we might be considered ‘traditional’. We use the Anglican form of worship, the priest wears robes, we sing hymns, there are candles, and we celebrate with the sharing of bread and wine. If you have children, they can join us for activities in the hall or are welcome to remain during the service.
We are also progressive and seek to be radically inclusive. We appreciate the importance and wisdom of the church community, are willing to question tradition, and aim to express our understanding and creativity through our services. We welcome all faith traditions (or none, or not sure), lifestyle choices, orientations, and ages, as we aspire to gather as one body at Gods table, equally loved.
Community
There are many ways to be part of our community and celebrate life in all its fullness. Eating together is at the heart of our shared life: we enjoy breakfasts, morning teas, celebration dinners and drinks around the firepit. We offer a network of small groups for worship, meditation, study and social support. We engage in pastoral care in the local community, as well as supporting an orphanage in Nepal. We host Muslim Jummah prayers every Fridayand a weekly Buddhist prayer circle. Our children’s ministry focuses on supporting each other as an extended Christian family. For our elders, we host a monthly morning tea, with lifts provided for those who need them. Join with us and share in our exploration of life .
