Hobart North Uniting Church – 2 Swan St North Hobart

We meet and worship on the lands of the Mouheneener peoples and seek to walk together.

 

 

9.30am Worship each Sunday is held in the Worship Centre and Live-Streamed each week.  Click picture below for live-stream and recorded links from each week. We extend an open invitation to share in worshipping God with the gathered community each Sunday.  

6.00pm Worship most Sunday evenings small informal.  Around a dozen people predominately young adults and teenagers. If you are not a regular attender and you wish to come to the Sunday night worship,  please call/text Jeff on 0429 728 243 to confirm the service is still scheduled that evening. 

As Community we welcome input, questions and discussion throughout the gathered time each week.  We encourage respect for the thoughts, opinions and questions of others.  In learning to discuss our experiences and understandings of God, we become more able to share our faith in words and action.

Weddings:  Both the Hobart North Uniting Church congregation and the pastor (Jeff Savage) embrace inclusivity and gender diversity

Where a couple have:

  • decided to make a life long commitment to each other and God in giving of themselves in marriage,
  • and where that relationship is valuing of each other and not abusive,
  • I am happy to meet with the couple and discuss and plan for either a service
    • of marriage, or if the couple prefer
    • a service of commitment to one anther.

Separations: Some separations are amicable and life-giving, some are painful and soul destroying –  bringing much trauma. Some separations are brought about by the death of a partner and even when  death is expected it can rock your world.  If one or both parties would like to have a short service of recognition of being single again, or a liturgy to acknowledge before God and themself/themselves a new beginning, please make contact.  For some this may be an opportunity to recommit yourself to God, or an act of release from guilt, baggage, or past ways. If you wish to explore these ideas, and step beyond …or build on what has been, please make contact with Jeff Savage jeff@hobartnorth.ucatas.org

Baptims / Confirmations:  While we don’t believe someone goes to hell (if such a place exists) if they are not baptised, we still hold Baptism as an important sacrament in the life of the Christian church.  If you are wishing to consider ‘Baptism’ for yourself or your children, or the reaffirmation of the baptismal promises, which is called ‘Confirmation’ please make contact. Many parents bring their children for Baptism and others leave the decision for their children to make as they grow and mature.  The Uniting Church embraces both infant Baptism and believer Baptism.   Confirmation is both a reaffirmation of your Baptism, and the promises made by you or on your behalf at that time, and a personal confession of faith and commitment to God and the Christian community.   To explore further please make an appoint to speak with Jeff Savage jeff@hobartnorth.ucatas.org

Facility Bookings:  Our congregation have been gifted with wonderful resources of people and buildings and we inherit a great legacy of faith and inspiration.  The property assets we have are mainly due to the commitment of members of what was originally Swan St Methodist Church, and the passing on of resources by equally committed members of other local congregations which have closed (Cross St New Town, Lenah Valley, Moonah and other Uniting Church worship centres).   Many have been through the pain of closing and selling properties which they had worshipped in, yet have found new life in those resources being released and combined with the resources of others to give us what we have today.  A substantial and extensive redevelopment of 2 Swan St took place around 2013/2014 and we hold these buildings not only for worship, but also make them available to the community to rent, use and enjoy.  If you are interested in discussing hiring our facilities (Upstairs carpeted hall / Downstairs timber floor hall / Gathering Space / Worship Space / Chapel / Meeting Rooms / Office Space) please email bookings@hobartnorth.ucatas.org   or phone the bookings phone number 0480 343 793
