Meetings > Blackheath Anglican Parish

Church Services
There are several weekly services in the Parish. All services are centred around the exposition of Scripture and once a month there is a communion service at each centre:

10.30am St Aidan’s Blackheath
A conservative but contemporary service following the Prayer Book structure and using piano, organ, violin and guitar. This is our best attended service.

8.45am St Peter’s Mt Victoria
Similar to St Aidan’s but with organ music only and a little more traditional.

5pm St John’s Hartley
(Meets 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, except during winter [June, July and August] when it only meets on the 1st Sunday)
Style as at St Peter’s

3pm St George’s Mt Wilson
(2nd Sunday of each month only)
This is a conservative service. Robes are usually worn.

Growth Groups
The parish follows the principle of Sunday gathering, complemented by midweek small group meetings in people’s homes. They are called ‘Growth Groups’ to reflect their purpose to assist members to grow in faith. Groups vary in size from half a dozen to nearly 20. They do not meet in school holidays.
    Growth Groups have three components: studying the Word of God, praying and sharing about life over the previous week.

Tuesday 10.30am at Blackheath
Wednesday 10.30am at Blackheath
Thursday 10.30am at Mt Victoria

Missionary Prayer Breakfast
A monthly prayer breakfast focussing mainly on Mission is held between 8.30-9.30am in a parishioner’s home on the third Saturday (notified in advance in the weekly notices).

Support Groups
Two groups, St Aidan’s Care & Share and St Peter’s Helping Hands meet monthly to support the work of those two churches and have fellowship together.
    Care & Share meets the second Friday every month at 10.30am in St Aidan’s Committee Room.
    Helping Hands meets every 3rd Monday at 1 pm in St Peter’s Hall.
