Those of us in and around Melbourne celebrate Resurrection Morning (Easter Sunday) by enjoying a leisurely barbecue brunch (BYO food and drink) in the picnic area somewhere. The location is still being sorted (and we’d welcome suggestions), because we can no longer use our previous place.

Church Anniversary Worship & Covenant Renewal @ Online in the SYCBaps Cyber Chapel
Jun 23 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Church Anniversary Worship & Covenant Renewal @ Online in the SYCBaps Cyber Chapel

We celebrate the 170th anniversary of the founding of our church with a service of worship that includes the annual renewal of our covenant membership vows.

Our Sunday gathering happens online, but it is far from just a streamed telecast. It is a highly participatory inclusive and healing blend of ancient and modern spiritual practices. For details of how our online liturgies are working and how to connect and participate, see this page.

All welcome, regardless of age, race, religion, capability, sexual identity, or immigration status.

After the service, we spend time socialising in smaller groups, so plan to stay and get to know us.

1 Corinthians 11: 17-27, 33

Resurrection Morning Cruise and Breakfast @ Departing from Federation Square
Apr 5 @ 10:00 am – 1:30 pm
Resurrection Morning Cruise and Breakfast @ Departing from Federation Square | Melton | Victoria | Australia

We celebrate Resurrection Morning (Easter Sunday) by enjoying a leisurely boat cruise along the Yarra River from Federation Square to Herring Island. On the Island we take advantage of some of the wonderful sculptures in the sculpture park to observe a short stational liturgy focussed around the stories of the resurrection of Jesus. The liturgy concludes with sharing a barbecue breakfast (BYO food and drink) in the picnic area (free public barbecue facilities available). The boat collects us in time to return us to Federation Square by 1:30pm. It is also possible to skip the cruise and join us at the island by meeting us at the Como Landing, on the South Yarra side of the river, right where Alexandra Avenue meets Williams Road in South Yarra to be ferried across.
