WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT AT THE DIFFERENT SERVICES?

Our CHRISTMAS EVE 4pm Kids service is designed for families with children (ages 1-12). We will celebrate Christmas by singing well-loved carols and having fun family activities during the service, as we remember why Jesus was born. We will hear from the bible and have it explained in a way that children will understand, and have a time of prayer.

On CHRISTMAS EVE at 8pm we have a special, reflective service surrounded by candlelight. An opportunity to sing well-loved carols, and be reminded of the message of Christmas. A service great for teenagers and adults.

On CHRISTMAS DAY join us for a celebration that Christmas has arrived. This service is ideal for all ages and stages as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ together and share in Holy Communion together.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

When you visit a church for the first time it can be intimidating – we hope that this is not your experience of St Marks and that you feel welcome and at home as you join us at one of our services.

On arriving at St Marks after finding a parking spot, you will walk up to our main church building and be greeted by our welcoming team They will say ‘hi’, and help you to find a seat. If you have any questions at all, about the service or facilities (like “where is the bathroom?”) they will be more than happy to show you around. Don’t be shy to ask if you are not sure about something.

Our service will go for just over 1 hr. We will open by singing a few carols together, then our service leader will welcome you. We will have a time of prayer, and then a reading from the Bible. Our Lead Pastor James Galea will then share a message from the bible that has been read out. We finish our service with more singing of well-loved carols.

We hope you decide to join us and we look forward to getting to know you! 

Merry Christmas.
