Spirituality Community & Service
Preparing a place for God, first in our hearts, and then in the world in which we live.
The Society of the Sacred Advent (SSA) has been working with women and girls in Queensland for over 125 years. Join us as we enter a new stage of community life and continue the tradition of spirituality and loving service.
“In making a place for God in our hearts and in the world in which we live, we (the SSA) are striving to do the work of creating what we might called sacred spaciousness for ourselves, so that we can model that for others and invite them into that space. Then in that space, where we hope to meet with God and hear Christ’s voice, we trust we will discover just what kinds of service we are being called to. And we help others find their call also, as they join with us in our work.”

Worship with us this month
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. … God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.” (Gen 1: 1-4a; 31a). In September we mark the beginning of the Season of Creation, celebrating the innate goodness of all creation.
Our monthly Eucharist is held on the first Sunday of every month (except January) at St Colomb’s Anglican Church, Victoria St Clayfield.
Afternoon tea from 3.15pm
