Worship services are an integral part of our Christian life - but sometimes we can't attend services in person. Whether you live far from a local congregation, live in an aged care or other facility or are ill at home or in hospital, you are always welcome to join us online in worship. This page lists the many congregations which share their services online, as well as providing advice for congregations wishing to start livestreaming.
