What to Expect on Sunday’s at Southern Cross Anglican
Expect to be welcomed and to meet people, to make friends and to form or renew your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
There is no dress code, please wear what is comfortable for you. The RSL does require shoes though.
What do I need to wear?
What will happen during
a church service?
You will be welcomed when you arrive and handed some information. We will sing some songs together (you can join in or simply sit, listen and enjoy). We will read the Bible. A talk about what the Bible reading means to us today (usually). Someone will lead us in a time of prayer. If the service includes the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion, (every second week), a small piece of bread (wafer) and a sip of wine or the wafer with juice already embedded, will be offered as a celebration and remembrance of Jesus' death on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. After the service, we have a great chat and a few laughs while enjoying morning tea in the bistro of the Beenleigh RSL club.
We love kids. There will be a time for them to sing and then go to the back of the room to learn about Jesus and to do some craft each week. This is run by authorised people.
I have Children
Will I be expected to give any money?
For those who would like to contribute towards our ministries, an offertory bag is available when entering the service for voluntary contributions. Alternatively, many people choose to give online.

There is also a square machine on the table.
Although we need money to operate, we would rather have you come and be part of our community.
There may well be a good reason for this, or there may not be.
It doesn't matter, just know that we'd love for you to connect with us.
If you haven't been for a while, you'll notice some positive changes.
Some of the 'older ways' of expressing our faith may not be understood today so we're adapting to other ways that still communicate the love of Jesus.
Our beliefs have not changed, but the way we express them are different.
We haven't done away with what is rich and valuable from our past which grows our love and knowledge of God, and share that with others today.
Why not join our other recent arrivals and come along and see what's happening for yourself?
You might be in for a pleasant surprise.
If you are not Anglican, you are still welcome to find the Love of Jesus and to experience the love of others and walk the road with us.
