Season of Creation

Sunday 1 September 2024 – Friday 4 October 2024

As we begin the month of September, we begin within the church what is known as “The Season of Creation”.

This runs from 1 September (Orthodox Church ‘Day of Creation’) up until 4 October (Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi).

The Uniting Church in Australia and a few others took a lead in promoting a Season of Creation in the global church’s liturgical calendar, with themes for each Sunday during a typical 3-year lectionary cycle. Our current Banyule Worship Plan has the following themes for each week:-

Sunday 1 September Day of Creation
Sunday 8 September Earth Sunday
Sunday 15 September Humanity Sunday
Sunday 22 September Sky Sunday
Sunday 29 September Mountain Sunday

If you’re anything like us you’ve been watching the Olympics over the past few weeks. This weekend we’ll be celebrating Messy Olympics, inspired by these amazing athletes, and thinking about how our life as Christians is like a very long race with people cheering us on all the way.

Looking forward to seeing you all for our usual fun activities (with PLENTY of running, jumping and Olympic level challenges), our celebration time and a meal together.

If you have friends who you think would like to join us at Messy Church, please bring them along with you.

Conversion Practice & Prohibition

Cafe of Dangerous Ideas

Friday 30 August 2024 at 7.30pm

Sycamore Tree Cafe

185 Burgundy Street, Heidelberg

Did you know that in Victoria, the Conversion Practice & Prohibition Act bans practices that try to change or hide someone’s sexuality or gender?
The law says that “all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, (should) feel welcome and valued… and (should be) able to live authentically and with pride.”
Jac Tomlins will be speaking to us about the ramifications of this legislation and how we can ensure safe spaces in our communities for LGBTQIA+ folks.

No need to book. Just turn up!
