Sunday Gatherings
At St Peter's, we're one church family with three Sunday gatherings, each with its own style but sharing the same commitment to faithful Bible teaching, growing in our understanding of Jesus, and encouraging one another.
Whether you're new to church, exploring Christianity, or looking for a church family, we'd love to welcome you!
8:30am – Traditional Anglican Service
Our 8:30am service offers a more traditional style of worship in a warm and friendly setting.
The service follows Anglican prayer book liturgy, with Bible readings, prayers, a sermon and traditional hymns. It's a familiar and welcoming gathering for those who appreciate a more structured approach to worship.
10:30am – Contemporary Family Service
Our 10:30am service is a relaxed, contemporary gathering for people of all ages and stages of life.
With a mix of contemporary Christian songs, Bible teaching and opportunities to connect with others, it's a great place for families, individuals and newcomers alike.
Children are very welcome! Our service includes a special time for children, followed by Kids Church, where they can learn about Jesus in an age-appropriate and engaging way. There's also a family room available for parents with little ones, although we're very happy for children to stay in the service, noise and all!
This service is also livestreamed for those unable to join us in person. Visit our YouTube channel.
6:00pm – Informal Evening Gathering
Our Sunday evening gathering is a relaxed and informal opportunity to connect with others, explore the Christian faith and grow as followers of Jesus.
Rather than a traditional church service, our evenings focus on conversation, Bible exploration and encouraging one another in faith. They're particularly suited to teenagers, young adults and anyone interested in discovering more about Jesus.
This term, we're working through Discipleship Explored, an eight-session course looking at what it means to follow Jesus and the difference he makes in our lives. No previous church experience or Bible knowledge is needed, and newcomers are always welcome.
You're also invited to join us from 5pm for games and activities on the church lawn (or in the hall if it's raining), before our gathering begins at 6pm.
Please note: There will be no evening gathering on Sunday 1 November. We resume on Sunday 8 November.
All three gatherings take place at St Peter's Anglican Church, 128 Scott Street, Shoalhaven Heads.
We'd love to see you on Sunday!
Baptisms and Dedications
If you would like to have your child baptised or dedicated, or are considering baptism yourself, we'd love to hear from you.
Please contact Craig Langstaff (craig@spsh.org.au), who will be happy to meet with you to discuss what's involved and answer any questions you may have.
Baptisms are usually held during our 10:30am Sunday service, allowing our church family to share in this special occasion and welcome those being baptised into our fellowship.
Funerals
A Christian funeral provides an opportunity to grieve, give thanks for the life of a loved one, and find comfort and hope in God's promises.
We understand that arranging a funeral can be difficult, and we're here to offer compassionate care and support. We'll meet with family members to help plan a service that honours their loved one and provides an opportunity to remember and give thanks.
Your funeral director will normally begin arrangements on your behalf, but you're also very welcome to contact Craig Langstaff (craig@spsh.org.au) directly.
