Worship at Saint Ben's
Everyone is welcome to worship at St Benedict's.
Sunday 8 – 8:50 am Eucharist*
This quiet, informal service includes time for silent reflection on the Bible Readings. Instead of a sermon, we share together our questions and insights about the readings. There are no hymns and the prayers use contemporary language. There is no 8 am service on the first Sunday of each month.
Sunday 10:30 – 11:45 am Eucharist*
Our main service includes hymns, Bible readings, a short sermon, traditional prayers and communion. It is followed by a time of informal conversation over refreshments and, on the first Sunday of each month, by a potluck lunch.
Tuesday 5:30 – 6:10 pm VespersFrom the ancient monastic tradition comes this service of the ‘vesper light’ or twilight. We use a simple form of prayer created by the Iona community and share our thoughts on the Bible reading of the day and how God is speaking to us through it. |

* Eucharist is a traditional term for holy communion. It comes from the Greek word for thanksgiving and helps us to remember that this is a joyful service of thanksgiving to the Creator.
