8am Good Friday
Our 8am Good Friday service follows the heart of a prayer book service in a modern setting, with readings and worship helping us to reflect on the cross.
10am Good Friday
Our 10am service is a service of reflection. This Easter, we invite you to pause as you engage with the Easter story of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
If you have joined us for Good Friday services in the past, we are doing things a little bit differently this year, with kids enjoying their very own program for Good Friday morning (more on that below!)
Our 10am Good Friday service will be one for personal reflection, prayer and quiet contemplation as we consider the profound sacrifice made for us on the cross. As we journey from the garden of Gethsemane to Calvary, we will be led through readings, prayers, moments of stillness and worship. As we meditate on Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, this service invites us to pause, reflect, and draw closer to God.
Kids Alive Good Friday Program
For the first time, we are giving the kids their own special Good Friday program!! For kids aged 1 through to Year 5, we will be running a wonderful morning full of fun games, craft activities, teaching time and songs.
When your family arrives to church on Good Friday, you will see our kids check-in area in front of the hall, please head there to get your kids settled before heading over to the main church for our Good Friday service. Please arrive early to allow time to get kids checked in before 10am.
Led by our wonderful Kids Team, who all have Safe Ministry Training and Working With Children Checks.
If you have never been to St Paul’s, and would like to chat to our Children’s Minister Linda you can email linda.stephens@stpauls.church or call 8858 1111 and she will be happy to share a bit more about what to expect.
8am Easter Sunday
Our 8am Easter Sunday service is a prayer book style service, celebrating our Risen King! This service will include communion.
10am Easter Sunday
Our 10am Easter Sunday service is a family celebration service. Please note there is no Kids Alive program running this Sunday – instead, our Easter Sunday service is for kids and adults to join together!
We can’t wait to share in the joy of proclaiming “He is Risen!” – our service will include a Kids Spot, lots of singing, prayer, communion and a time of teaching.
This is likely to be a well-attended service, and so we will have several overflow options available where you can still participate in the service. Our CEC Auditorium will be more family-friendly, with room on the carpet for kids to spread out. The Pavilion will also be open for a quieter overflow space.
6pm Easter Sunday
We will finish our Easter weekend with our evening service, and we’d love to see you as we close a special weekend of services.
How do I get there and where do I park?
St Paul’s is located at 421 Old Northern Rd in Castle Hill, in-between Oakhill College and the Anglicare Retirement Village. We have plenty of parking available including several wheelchair friendly spots. When you drive in the driveway our friendly parking team will greet you and assist you to find a spot.
If you are traveling by public transport please visit https://transportnsw.info/ to look up the bus/metro timetables from your area.
What time should I arrive?
Our Easter services are always well attended, so we would recommend trying to arrive at least 20 mins prior to the start time of the service. Getting in early means you can find a parking spot and seat and get settled in plenty of time.
Who should I ask if I need some help?
You’ll find our Connect Team wearing bright yellow lanyards, they are the best people to help you find your way around the site and answer any questions you may have. Our Staff Team will have blue lanyards on if you’d like to speak with a member of our team.
What should I wear?
Something you already own and that you feel comfortable in! There is no formal dress code at St Paul’s, no need to feel like you have to dress up – but of course you can put on your Sunday best if that is what you are happiest in! Most of our congregation wear smart casual attire, think what you would wear to a weekend BBQ with friends.
Do you have parents facilities for those with young children?
YES, we have a parents and carers space available at the rear right-hand side of our main church building. This area is equipped with a comfortable space to feed, changing facilities and a play space with some toys and books for young children.
What kind of church is St Paul’s – what do you believe in?
St Paul’s Castle Hill is an Anglican church, part of the Diocese of Sydney. You can find out more about what we believe here.
What is the best way to get in touch if I still have questions?
You can email us anytime info@stpauls.church or give us a call Mon-Thur 9am-4pm on 8858 1111.
A great way to stay in touch with us is to visit our Facebook page or follow us on Instagram where you can watch videos of what we have been up to each week, check out upcoming events, and get to know who we are as a church.
