Church Info
For the Children, we have a library with all sorts of books and Biblical Comics for them to look at located at the back of the Church. In this area you will also find many other activities to help our children in their worship of our Lord.
We have Children’s Church in the Hall (down the stairs).
Washrooms are also located at the far end of the hall (stairs are located at the back & front of Church)
– women’s on the left and men on the right.
We have a library towards the front right of the church for your reading pleasure.
We offer a wide assortment of books to aid in your spiritual growth.
Pastoral Care is essential in any church. Should you wish to see a Priest, please feel free to contact Fr. Anthony – he will respond quickly to any request.
At the Lord’s Table, all who seek are fed. Whatever denomination you are part of – you are welcome to join us in Communion.
The Pallium is the name of our weekly Church Bulletin.The Pallium, a garment worn by early church leaders as a symbol of authority, is in the shape of a “Y”. It is meant to mark the wounds of Christ – head, hands, side, and feet. It is still given to a senior Bishop in the Church. The Pallium was given to Augustine of Canterbury, for whom our Church is named, by Pope Gregory the Great. It continues to be the symbol of the Archbishop of Canterbury since the earliest formations of our denomination. It was given as a reminder to Augustine of what his ministry should focus on – that of evangelism and reconciliation.
