• The Turramurra Passion

    I really can’t recommend The Turramurra Passion Play highly enough. The Play is an interactive and slightly modern interpretation of the Easter story, performed in and around the grounds of Turramurra Uniting Church. Based primarily on Luke’s Gospel from The Message translation, the play was first performed in 1999, and has developed over the following years. There are seven performances, from 23 March to 4 April. It’s free, but bookings are essential. Check out www.turramurrapassion.org.au for full details and to book.

  • Nicodemus – The Musical

    ‘Nicodemus’ is an Australian musical, produced and co-written by Matthew Adams, which provides an opportunity for our local church community to invite friends and family to a Gospel event that is not only entertaining and immensely enjoyable, but which also gives the opportunity for discussion afterwards. The musical will be presented in Belrose between March 21 and March 31, 2012. For more information, see www.stmattsweb.org.au/nicodemus.

Pipe Dreams

St. John’s is fortunate to have a Pels & Son electro-pneumatic organ, the only one of its kind in Australia. This organ was installed in 1961, so this year marks its 50th anniversary, in celebration of which we are holding a series of organ recitals through the year. All proceeds from these recitals will go towards future renovations of this unique instrument.

For more information about the Pipe Dreams series of recitals, please call 9489 0355.
