25.01.2022 The way of the cross, celebrated by Christians around the world, and by the Mount Waverley Chadstone Inter Church Council.

25.01.2022 The Way of the Cross 2020 is now available on YouTube. https://youtu.be/LwSZXPh5d1U

23.01.2022 Following the recent announcement from The National Cabinet that non-essential indoor gatherings of greater than 100 people will no longer be permitted from Wednesday 18 March 2020, regrettably the MWCICC Way of the Cross which was planned to take place on Good Friday, April 10 commencing from St Johns Uniting Church, Mt Waverley, has been cancelled. While this is a disappointing development, our faith and our Churches are stronger than this pandemic and the control measures... that are disrupting our usual patterns of gathering. I encourage us all to uphold one another in prayer and seek deeper connection with God as we walk the way of faith in different ways in the days ahead.Following the recent announcement from The National Cabinet that non-essential indoor gatherings of greater than 100 people will no longer be permitted from Wednesday 18 March 2020, regrettably the MWCICC Way of the Cross which was planned to take place on Good Friday, April 10 commencing from St Johns Uniting Church, Mt Waverley, has been cancelled.

18.01.2022 Good News! The Way of the Cross is going online. It will be live-streamed using Facebook here on the Mount Waverley Chadstone Inter-Church Council Facebook page. If you know someone who doesnt have internet access, you can help them join the Way of the Cross using Zoom on a telephone (either landline or mobile). All they need to do is dial in on Good Friday from 11.10am (for an 11.15am start). First, call the Zoom local number (03) 7018 2005. Next, when the call connects they will be prompted to enter the meeting number, which is 930 421 677, and press the # key. Once theyve entered that number theyll hear whats happening, or be asked to wait if it hasnt started yet. Its that simple!

17.01.2022 Rules for children in the worship service: One. If you find that youre sitting in front of a child and they cant see, lean to the side. Two. If the children s...eated behind you are rustling papers, hand them a crayon. Three. If there is a baby that is crying, offer to take the baby from their parent and walk to the back of the church and rock the child for a while. The parent really needs a break. Four. If the teenagers are whispering give them some Smarties. The rustling and crinkling will replace their whispering. Five. If an adult complains to an usher about the noisy children near them, offer to trade seats with that adult and then apologize to the parents of the children. Six. When a child is running around giving everyone high-fives during the time of passing the peace/greeting your neighbor make sure to give them an extra fun high-five, and then high-five the next five adults that you see. Seven. If a child has worn tap shoes to church and is dancing on the wood portion of the floor, slip the sheet music for "The Entertainer" to the pianist and roll with it. Eight. When the children cant hear because an adult around them wont take off their puffy jacket and it keeps squeaking and distracting the children, offer to help them off with their jacket and go hang it up for them where it goes. Nine. When the three-year-old insists on standing on the front pew turned backwards looking at the rest of the people, give the child a pair of very dark glasses. That will prevent the child from catching any adults eye, which would lead to distracting them. This will protect the adults who as we know have very short attention spans and are easily distracted. Ten. When a child in front of you is very squirmy, and then they finally turn around and you realize suddenly, "Oh, its Jesus!" take it in stride and play Got Your Nose till he turns around to the front again.
