Service with a # will have a separate children’s program for part of the 10.00am service.

St John's Bentleigh is an Anglican church.  Anglican churches in Australia offer a variety of worship styles.  Here at St John's, our regular Sunday services follow the format of A Prayer Book for Australia (1995) and include songs, prayers, readings from the bible, a talk on the readings, and sharing of Holy Communion (also called the Eucharist).  We mark the seasons of the Church's year such as Christmas, Lent, Easter and Pentecost:  the church decoration and priest's clothing reflect these seasons.  Our services may include a level of ritual, such as lighting of candles and other actions to help us in our worship.  St John’s provides a mix of services with traditional Holy Communion services held at least once each Sunday, and either a traditional Morning Prayer service or a less formal Praise, Prayer and Proclamation Service. The times and type of each service for the next two months are listed above under Regular Sunday Services.

Children are welcome at all our services.  Sunday Services at 10:00 am make special provision for children. In particular services marked with a # will include a separate children’s program for part of the service.

Morning tea is available after the 10.00am service
