Sunday Gatherings are the primary way we gather as a church to worship together, learn from bible, pray for one another, and create space to hear from and encounter more of God's Spirit.
Everyone is welcome, and from January 2024 we will be gathering every second, third and fourth (& fifth) Sunday of each month.
Over the coming months we are excited to be establishing Garden City Kids. The plan is for Garden City Kids to take place during our Sunday Gatherings, where we aim to create a fun and inspiring time for all those aged 5 to 11.
Garden city kidsFor the first 350 years of Christianity there were no church buildings. Early followers of Jesus primarily gathered in homes, and the focal point, the central piece of furniture, wasn’t the stage or the pulpit — it was the table. Gathering around the table for the early Church was sacred moment. It reminded these early believers of their relationship with the God, as they received the bread and wine; it’s where they experienced community with others; and it’s where they extended hospitality and welcome to the least, the last and the lost.
We long for the same to be true for us, so on the first Sunday of each month we forgo meeting for our usual Sunday Gatherings and instead we gather around the table.
Our table is open to all, so please do sign-up in advance so we know everyone will be catered for. Please include everyone in your household coming and do let us know if you have any special dietary requirements.
