What to expect in our services

​

You may never have visited church before – that's OK!  We'd love you to join us.  Come as you are – no one gets too dressed up at Blacktown East!

 

We understand that trying anything new can be a bit daunting. But it might help you to know what happens in our service:

​

• Church usually goes for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

​​

• We enjoy singing together and usually sing about 5 songs, accompanied by a band.

​​

• The person up the front who leads the service, prays (talks to God). Sometimes a few people in the congregation might pray as well.

​​

• Someone gets up and tells us about church news and coming events.

​​

• A Bible passage is read and someone (usually Keith) gives a talk for 20 to 30 minutes, explaining the passage.

​​

• In the morning service, there’s an entertaining talk for the kids and a kids’ song, and then they can go to Sunday school or preschool for the second half of the service.

​​

• A collection is taken up to support the work of the church – this is mainly for regulars, so please don’t feel you have to contribute.

​​

And don’t worry, you won’t be asked to read or pray aloud or stand up and introduce yourself.

After the service, we stay around for a coffee and morning tea/supper – which is a great time to meet and chat with people.  So please stay and join us.

​

We’d love to explore Christianity with you and help you find out who Jesus is.

​

We hope to see you soon.
