Welcome to St David's
Religion has tended to create people who think they have God in their pockets, people with quick, easy, glib answers - Richard Rohr
We all hunger for meaning, for purpose and for connection. At St David's Uniting Church situated at the Corner of Burke and Mont Albert Roads, Canterbury, we are committed to nourishing this hunger and to doing so in ways which are progressive, inclusive and inspiring. Join us for community worship at 10am on Sundays.

At St David's this year we are going to be entering in to a new cycle
of Monthly Mantra in the Habitat. In practical terms this means that
our Sunday morning gathering will take up a different format and theme
depending on where we are in the month. It's going to look a little
like this:
1st Sunday: Eucharistic Ritual. Join us in this ancient sacrament as we celebrate our place in the mystical body of God.
2nd Sunday: Open Heart. We all connect into Spirit in different ways. Come and feed your own desire while exposing yourself to a myriad of prayer traditions.
3rd Sunday: Rev Paul Sanders ‘Drawing from the Well’
4th Sunday: Soul Food Café @ Augustine ( come and be challenged by new voices and nurtured by great coffee) and Prophet Voice @ St David’s (a chance to be exposed to a breaking open of the Gospel).
5th Sunday: Progressive Passions. Join us for deepening conversation in sacred space.
Wednesday Evenings: Group Contemplative Mediation 6:00 - 7:15pm (Augustine Center)
Walking the Labyrinth: restoring earth, restoring self. 7:30 - 8:30pm (Augustine Center)
1st Saturday in the Month: Oases Saturday Breakfast
Refer to www.oases.org.au.
B/fast cost $25, $15 conc. Bookings essential - 9819 3502.

According to Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister : 'Typically, the irst half of life is spent accumulating, and with the second half comes the stripping away.Babies grasp at everything; we clutch many things; as we age, if we are wise, we open up our hands and begin to let go; we melt into God. Stripping down, getting down to essence is part of the aging process.
It's a beautiful thing. It's a gorgeous thing. [The Benedictine women] tell you they have everything they need, except one thing -- the melting into God."

Spirituality and Worship Group |
|
We are about to begin the WORK of being COMMUNITY and part of this work is about creating worship which is spiritually/emotionally/physically and intellectually nurturing for us all. This is a big job in a small but diverse community. Anyone interested in coming together to help the ministers prepare the worship experience and to be part of an ongoing group which reports to the new church council and encourages the congregation in its spiritual formation...please
