We would love you to come and be a part of this event; 90 minutes of free flowing worship and prayer, using some of the songs written in more recent years.
Doors open for refreshments from 7.15pm.
Sunday Morning Worship @ 10.30am
Baptist Church
If you are looking to take part in a worship service that has a family atmosphere and uses more modern hymns and songs, then this could be the place for you on Sunday morning. If you would like to know more about the church please click here to connect to the website.
St Mary’s Church
Whilst this Anglican church presents a more traditional worship service, this friendly congregation offers a very warm welcome to everyone who visits. During the festival all four churches in the local mission community will join together to enjoy a Sung Eucharist. It will be very special this year as it will use Roger Jones’ setting found within the musical Torn Curtain. For more information about the church please click here to view the website.
Big Sing: Sunday 18 May @ 2.30 – 3.30pm
St Mary’s Church
Getting together to raise the rafters by singing popular hymns and songs is a joyful activity and one that lifts the spirit.
This final event of the weekend will gladden your heart before heading home, so do come and end the festival in style.
4pm Family Service
Sunday 18 May @ 4pm

If you still have energy to spare you would be most welcome to join the regular 4pm family service held at ABC, a real bonus event. Why not join in singing some more contemporary worship songs, listen to a short message and then play some games while food is being served.
