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. Currently we are introducing a new family style service on some Sundays: this follows a similar format but is less formal, more interactive and with contemporary family friendly music. These services will be held at 9:30 am, usually on the first Sunday of each month, please check our News and Community page to see dates.
Children are welcome at all our services. Sunday Services at 9:30 am make special provision for children. Our family services are intended to appeal to children, and emphasise children's participation.
