A valuable skill for anybody in a service is to be able to tie in with the main theme. It not only helps to reinforce the main message, it gives the corporate worship focus, and makes the service more memorable. This elective is for those involved in services.

Being part of a Christian community means encouraging one another to meet regularly. In Heb 10:24-25 it says this; 'And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.' This elective will look at ways we can support each other in strengthening our faith in Jesus. We will look at how we can love and encourage our Christian friends but also those on the fringe. If you love people, this is the elective for you.
Discover simple, actionable ways our Christ-centred community can express care for people with hidden disabilities. A practical session for anyone who wants to grow in their pastoral understanding and confidence, particularly for the Welcoming, Connect Group, and Pastoral Care team members.
We are one body in Christ but we are from many different cultures. Rachel is part of our Mont Albert North 11am Mandarin Congregation and will lead this workshop by exploring how we can better serve one another with our different strengths and cultural backgrounds. This elective is for everyone wanting to grow in their ability to serve God with others in our church from different cultures.
St Hilary's is involved in an enormous amount of community action, particularly through the work of the Hope food drive and Op shop, our mission partners and Kid's Hope. But did you know that there are numerous smaller initiatives started by individuals like you that just had a passion to see something change? Some of these have grown into bigger things, others have run their course and others still are continuing to bless people almost invisible to the broader church. That's where we can all start! So, in this session we'll reflect on what we are passionate about, what God may be calling us to do about it, and where the opportunities and needs are in 2025. It is my hope that the Spirit plants seed in ALL our hearts to begin again engaging our community for good. This elective is for the discontented and uncomfortable, those feeling the tug of the spirit to work for good.
