Pentecost and beyond

The Feast of Pentecost takes place fifty days (Greek pentekosti, ‘the fiftieth day’) after Easter Day. It ends the Easter Season, and commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles, and the gift of the Spirit as the Paraclete or ‘Comforter’ of the world. All services include a warm welcome and some refreshment to follow.

Our regular Sunday service

The main regular service at All Saints is the weekly service of Holy Communion at 11.00 on Sunday mornings. The service is usually a sung Eucharist, which includes easy to sing congregational responses, along with some hymns. This is followed by tea and coffee and refreshments in our Meeting Room.

Rod Junor, Music Director

Our services follow the traditional seasons of the church year, beginning with Advent in December, then the 12 days of Christmas, followed by Epiphany. Ash Wednesday introduces the 40 days of Lent leading up to Palm Sunday, Holy Week and the great season of Easter, which is celebrated over seven weeks. Easter concludes with the day of Pentecost. Some weeks later, we come to Advent again, a season of anticipation and preparation at the beginning of a new church year. The major festival days are celebrated with meals and fellowship together, and we also mark special occasions such as Saints’ Days, All Saints and All Souls, and the August anniversary of the commencement of services in 1860.

Weekday services

On Thursdays at 10.30 am a service is held at St James Thornbury. For directions, visit stjamesthornbury.org.au.

Activity for children

Children are included in our services and are welcome as part of our worship at all times. There is a suitable space for quiet activity at the back of the church, and some materials can be provided.

Choral music for special services

Special services are held during Holy Week each year, leading up to Easter, and at Christmas. For special services, the parish choir prepares celebratory music.

Whole of parish activity

For certain services, including online services, we join in celebration with our friends at St James the Great, Thornbury. We also share pub lunches or other social gatherings. For information about St James visit stjamesthornbury.org.au
