Easter Services

Family Service

We like including parents/grandparents and children in worship, so we created Almost Like Church. At ALCh, we sing, pray, listen to scripture, make a mess with some art and craft, and then enjoy Communion together. And morning tea and refreshments follow. There is a carpark next to the parish centre, or alternatively, there is plenty of parking in Kent St. Just walk through the Close (the park 2A Kent St) to the parish centre.

Easter Services

A New Service

A new service at St Columba’s intended to be specifically sensitive to and accepting of those who may benefit from a more relaxed environment, or anyone with sensory needs often unmet in many church services. Modifications are made to sensory elements of the service, like lighting and sound, to eliminate surprise and reduce anxiety levels, making this service more welcoming for some people. There is a carpark next to the parish centre, or alternatively, there is plenty of parking in Kent St. Just walk through the Close (the park 2A Kent St) to the church and parish centre.

It’s Beautiful Inside and Outside.

Surrounded by beauty, the interior of St Columba’s offers those who visit a space of sanctuary and spiritual presence. An oasis of retreat from a busy life and the world outside. Come and enjoy the experience anytime you see that ‘church open’ sign outside the church on Cross Road.

Columba Playtime

A small structured playgroup for children from birth to school age and their carers. Held during term time on Friday 10 – 11.30 am in the Parish Centre, St Columba’s Anglican Church, 3 Rosevear Street, Hawthorn.  A great opportunity to interact with your child, meet other parents/grandparents/carers and help your child learn new skills. We have a theme for each term and a different topic each week.  The morning begins with free play, then we come together for circle time with songs, a short video clip, a story and a game before having morning tea, a craft activity and more free play. We then come back together for our Goodbye Song and a sticker.

Studying scripture adds to the Christian life. Join us any Friday as we look a little deeper at the Sunday readings. Join us weekly or come and give the study a try. Best to check the calendar of events below to make sure we are meeting the day you wish to come – we miss a couple of Fridays a year.

Parishioners at St Columba's Annual Fete.

5The St Columba’s Annual Fete

Our annual fete is a popular attraction in the calendar of the local community. An array of stalls from food, gifts, clothing, trash and treasure and more brings people together, allows easy sale and purchase of second-hand goods, with the proceeds funding many of our mission activities like Anglicare SA, Schools Ministry Group, and the Newton College Appeal. In 2025 the fete will be held on Saturday, October 11.

If you would like to volunteer at the fete please contact the parish office.
