St Heliers Church & Community Centre

Our tradition values preaching, a simple liturgy of prayer, reflection, Bible readings, and involvement of lay leaders of all ages. We expect and encourage people to give financially as they can afford and to contribute their skills or passions in a particular area of service. We encourage people and equip to be involved and service out in the community and workplace so that the church is not an end in itself. We seek to help people find employment, improve their skills and opportunities and affect change in our community as well as within ourselves.

Our heart is to build community, a people to belong to, to be there for one another. Love is the key to everything we do and Jesus is the source of it all.

Home Groups & Friendship Groups

St Heliers Church & Community Centre

Most people find our church to be friendly and welcoming. But, if you want to go beyond Sunday morning coffee, a Home Group could be the answer.

That is where deep friendships are formed.

6

Home Groups vary. They have no set life. They exist as long as they are of value to the participants. Some are Bible study groups, others are issues focussed.

They are all relaxed. Honest sharing is encouraged and all opinions valued. Meeting time is usually 90 minutes which often includes personal sharing and refreshments. The frequency of meeting is up to the groups—mostly it is fortnightly. One night’s attendance is not a commitment to keep on coming.

Drop in and see if any group suits you!

New groups will be formed this year.

Music for the Church Community IN SOME WAYS I BELIEVE THAT GOD IS IN THE MUSIC—SOMETIMES JOYFUL, SOMETIMES SAD, ALWAYS MEANINGFUL. One of the important things we do at church is to sing together as a congregation, as well as organise solos, harmonies, quartets, chorales.

All ages participate especially at Christmas, Easter and Pentecost.

Music is the universal language and it unites our different cultures and understandings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Music makes us a community.
