The group activities for St. Ives Uniting Church are many and varied. Some of these are detailed below.

For further details of all activities carried out on our church premises see Mission Activities, Outreach Activities and Groups Sharing Our Building

Christian Meditation

Our Christian Meditation group meets each Thursday evening on Zoom; we listen to a reflective talk, we pray, and we meditate silently and to music. Each gathering runs for around 45 minutes. If you would like to join in, even if it's just to 'try it out', please contact Richie Dulin on 0411 680 505.

Picnic at Wildflower Garden

St. Ives Uniting Church Women’s Day Fellowship (WDF) - is a group of approximately 20 women who meet on the first Tuesday of each month in the Wesley Room.

We begin our get together with morning tea at 10.00am. Our meetings are very varied and we aim to have a good mixture of faith, fun and fellowship.

One of the aims of this group is to nurture a fellowship between members that is a true expression of Christ-like acceptance of, and caring and compassion for, each other.

New members are always welcome - if you would like any further information please contact Dianne (President) on 8065 7286.

St. Ives Uniting Church Friday Night Group (TFNG) has get-togethers twice a month usually on Friday evenings at members' homes.

We're working aged men and women who enjoy getting together to relax and offer each other support at the end of a busy week. We do lots of different things including DVD nights, nights out at local dramatic performances, bushwalks, and sharing about our work or voluntary organisations we're involved in. We come from all walks of life but have a common interest in wanting to support one another in a relaxed atmosphere, and we encourage each other to have input into the group's activities. Maureen Owen is the contact person for TFNG (0432 948 213 metowen@gmail.com) and she is able to provide information about our next get-together.

Monday Morning Seniors Coffee Group meets at St. Ives Village Shopping Centre.

Youth

During the Sunday morning service our youth sit in with the congregation. They often participate through readings, welcoming, or the set up of technology. These young people are a precious and valued part of our community and also join with the Sunday Morning Group.

We offer a variety of activities to the youth according to interest and availability.

Preschool and school aged children are welcome to remain with their parents or guardians if they wish.

Parents are welcome to join the children in their activities at the back of the church.

For more information contact Church Office office@stives.com.au or phone 9144 5795

Seniors

At St. Ives Uniting Church we value seniors in many ways, both formal and informal. Go to the Respect for Seniors website for resources and more information on Elder Abuse Prevention. Respect for Seniors website

Church Garage Sales

The Church Garage Sales are a treasure trove of items for sale.

Two Garage Sales are held each year raising essential funds for our church. At our last Sale over 54 members of the congregation experienced a tiring but rewarding day. Our next Garage Sale is on Saturday November 18th 2023 from 8am - 12 noon.

This is hard work but at closing time we all have a wonderful feeling of participation, friendship and achievement.
