• Welcome to E100

    Starting at Pentecost this year, I’d like to encourage as many members of St. John’s as possible to join me in the E100 reading program. E100 is 100 passages from the Bible, 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New, which give a broad overview of the scriptures as a whole. They are divided into 20 weeks of five readings, which, with a couple of holiday weeks to allow people to catch up, will take us through most of the way to Lent! (...more...)

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.
