in Echuca Moama Uniting Church

We believe God is present in our worship services as we listen to the Bible, pray and engage in dialogue with all the issues of life. Worship is joyous, sad, solemn, glad, full of life and tells the stories of God’s presence in the midst of people’s lives. Our worship services are diverse in style, catering for all ages.

The Christian seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost are each celebrated. Thanksgiving for the bounty of harvest is given every year. We believe God is active in our lives in numerous ways and we share these wide-ranging involvements on Sunday mornings.

Special Services for Christmas and Easter

Extra worship

Lenten Bible Studies Wednesdays 2pm from March 26th to 9th April

Music

Music is an important part of our worship. We use the organ and piano and enjoy traditional hymns and more modern songs of praise as well as recordings of contemporary music.

Christmas usually sees a ‘Christmas By Candlelight’ choral celebration of carols and readings.

Special Events: Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals

Events in people’s lives are rightly great opportunities for sharing in worship together with God. The three main ones are:

Baptism is a celebration of a child’s or adult’s life in the light of God’s gifts to that person and a committed acceptance to lead a Christian life. Sometimes when a baby is born a service of thanksgiving to God is more appropriate, without the stronger commitment of baptism.
Marriage is a Christian service of love. Wedding services can be conducted by our minister in the church or another venue by agreement. With planning we ensure that the day is an enjoyable and special occasion.
Funerals are a time of sadness and hope. Often they feature a thanksgiving for the person’s life. A Christian funeral is full of the hope given by God who lives forever, as shown by the rising of Jesus Christ. Services can be in the church, the Funeral Director’s Chapel or elsewhere.

We also like to share in other significant events in people’s lives – recommittal of wedding vows, interment of ashes, confirmation, and many more.

Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals by arrangement – please contact the church office.

Aged Care Worship

We lead worship services at Wharparilla and Cunningham Downs, and BUPA aged care homes for elderly people who are unable to attend regular worship. Currently, services are held once a month .

Children and Young People in worship and the wider church

Church Council has re-affirmed the commitment of Echuca Moama Uniting Church to the Keeping Children Safe Policy of the Uniting Church in Australia.

Children and their families are welcomed in our worship services and the general life of our church family. All of our volunteers are ‘Working With Children’ accredited and we adhere to a ‘Safe Place for Children’ policy.

Baptisms are a special part of our worship services.
Confirmation is another important step for young people in the church.
Youth are supported to make connections with other churches and to attend events such as the National Christian Youth Convention.
Young people are able to participate and assist in worship.
Other activities that are run for children and families include seasonal celebrations at Christmas and Easter. Our Advent Workshops have proven very popular in the past with both the young and old!
