Worship is central to the
parish. Choice is provided
in terms of time and style.
Our wish is to provide all
that is best in the
traditions of Anglican
liturgy combined with the
freshness of contemporary
expressions. Most of our
main services use 'A New
Zealand Prayer Book - He
Karakia Mihinae of Aotearoa'
first published in 1989.
Data show equipment has been
installed recently in St
Mary's which enhances the
10am worship there enabling
more variety in songs and
prayer. Regular Sunday Services are: 8am St Mary's Halswell
9am All Saints, Prebbleton
10am St Mary's Halswell
All these are full
communion services with the exception of 10am on the
third Sunday of each month which is a Family Service. For families requesting
Baptism this is the most appropriate occasion.
All Saints in Prebbleton have a combined evening
service with the Union Church
there in place of the 9am whenever there is a fifth Sunday
in the month.
A midweek communion service is provided in St. Mary’s each Wednesday at 10am
and on the 1st Wednesday of each month this is followed by morning tea.
Occasionally we celebrate with a "Riding on Faith" service of songs and stories
with the band led by Reg Garters
Prayer for healing is
offered at our services once
a month. |
