local community. The value of Mainly Music is the direct contact with

people in our local community. Would you be willing to serve as part

of a team to help with registraon and morning tea? Or would you be

LITURGY

CHILDREN IN THE 10.00am EUCHARIST

We are rening our pracces of inclusion for children in the 10.00am Eucharist. For children,

the liturgy essenally has three parts:

1. Hear - children hear a story from scripture or the Chrisan tradion. This takes place

inside the church building along with the whole people of God.

2. Respond - children discuss and creavely respond to what they have heard. This

takes place in the Parish Centre and lasts for approximately 20 minutes.

3. Share - returning at the Greeng of Peace, children gather with the whole people of

God to share in the Eucharist.

Parents and other adults can help children to understand these three disnct porons of the

liturgy and foster an atude of inclusion and acceptance. It is important to model to children

that they are full members of the body of Christ and equal parcipants in the Eucharist.

HOLY WEEK AND EASTER LITURGIESLast year at 9.00am on Easter Day there were more than 100 people present. In addion, a

number of people were absent from the Great Vigil of Easter (the central act of worship in

the Chrisan year) because of the 6.00am start. To address these two issues, Father Chris is

proposing Easter services as follows:

The Great Vigil of Easter - Saturday 7 April (Easter Eve) at 7.30pm

Easter Day Eucharists - 8.00am and 10.00am

If you have any advice on this maer, please contact the Rector.
