Encounter God, encounter one another, encounter the tradition.
Welcome to Northcote Uniting Church
Here at Northcote Uniting Church, we are pursuing encounter with God, one another, and the Christian tradition to build life-giving, generously orthodox, Christian spiritual community. The question that motivates our community is: What does it mean to be Jesus’ people in this time and place? We update our resources page from time to time with things that help explain what we are on about.
We are an open and affirming church.
Regular Spiritual Community
Tuesday Gathering:
Every Tuesday, we gather at 7-9:15 pm . We talk, we eat and drink, we pray, we study the Bible together. We are affirming, life-transforming, Spiritual community for one another, seeking to be a blessing in and to Northcote, devoted to the question of what the Gospel means in our context. On the third Tuesday we have a shared meal together, followed by communion.
Taizé Prayer: On the first Saturday of the month (except January) we host a Taizé prayer. Singing. Silence. Pizza . And often trombones! Taizé is an ecumenical community in eastern France, where thousands of young people gather every year. It has developed a unique way of worshipping & praying together. You can read more about it here.
The Choir and The Evensong Initiative:
Our choir practices every Wednesday during term times at 7:30pm. No experience required, all levels welcome! Four times a year, we will drink deep from the wells of Christian Spirituality with our Evensong service.
Rev. Alister, our minister, has a blog. It will help to explain the sort of place we are.
Stay in the Loop!
We’d love to keep you updated with our various doings! You can sign up for our email list here.
Featured Events
We invite you to join us as, through beautiful music, silence, and hearing the word, we are invited into the presence of God. Please note this is on a Friday evening, rather than the usual Saturday!
Easter Vigil done Taizé style! As always, stick around for celebratory pizza and maybe even Easter Eggs!
Join us as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, the event which completely overturns our understanding of the world in general and God in particular.
Upcoming Regular Events at Northcote Uniting Church
The hand of the LORD came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. Ezekiel 37:1-2
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go. John 11:43-44
Whatever the Good News is, it has something to do with God bringing life out of death, hope out of despair, joining our dry bones one to another and calling us up out of the grave.
This is our regular monthly Eucharist (aka Communion or The Lord’s Supper)
Transformative, engaged community every Tuesday. Deconstruct and reconstruct your faith with us!
