St Augustine’s Anglican Church is an integral part of the Hamilton & Ascot community. Countless families have been with us in past and present years. We bring the best of Anglican tradition into our Parish and community.
Our Christian life focuses on worship together, our reverence and calling to Christ, God’s only begotten Son, with our Holy Communion – the Eucharist, and prayer services. As an historic war memorial church, we provide important related services for our armed services and their enduring impact on our freedoms and way of life.
As such, we enjoy conversation and consideration of the issues & needs of our day. At times this is a great challenge we all face. We strive for open-minded conversation, seeking to practise inclusion. We reflect on how our beliefs may be put into action.
We would love to have you as part of the St Augustine’s family, including those of you who are seeking answers in life, your spirituality, and for being with us in our walk with God through the salvation of Jesus Christ. Please be encouraged in your journey with us, or simply to visit us.

56 Racecourse Rd, Hamilton QLD 4007
Entrance from 9 Charlton St., Hamilton
We have limited parking on the grounds. We ask the drive is kept clear for entry and exit, to the driveway of the rectory, and use single depth parking. Most people park in Charlton St. It is possible to drive right up to the front door to drop off those with mobility issues. A number of folks park in Racecourse Road, or the side streets such as Kent Street, and have an enjoyable morning walk to the Church.
A good time to contemplate, read a book, or perhaps say a prayer to God.

Faith, Teaching and Discipleship
Faith, Teaching and Discipleship
Glory be to GOD on high, and in earth peace, good will towards men.
We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee: we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory,
O LORD GOD, heavenly King: GOD the FATHER Almighty.
Gloria In Excelsis – The Book of Common Praise
Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.
Praise, Gloria In excelsis – AAPB 1995
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Apostles’ Creed – A Prayer Book for Australia, 1995
We pray you may find fellowship and resources to explore your Christian faith and Church life. It may take time to discover, but discovery is there for us, like the unexpected talk with someone who understands your concerns, asking God to help in circumstances, or that moment when your prayer of faith is strengthened in unexpected ways.

Prayer
Jesus said “come to me all who are burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
It is our prayer that with us and through the finished work of Jesus, you will find rest and refreshment. It is our privilege to be involved in God’s work of prayer for your needs – whether they be illness, relationship, financial, or other. Your prayers are kept confidential and are prayed for by Rev'd Marian Free, and with your permission by the prayer team.
If you would like to be on our Sunday service prayer list, we have paper forms at the entry area of the church on one of the counters near where we serve tea and coffee.
For those who are sick, you are welcome to come along to our healing service.
“Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.” James 5:14
“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” Psalm 50:15

Please pray for me
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

Eternal Life
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”
NIV – John 17:1-3
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
NKJV – John 11:25-26

STAUGSEQ
The church was built in three stages – the nave, the organ loft and the bell tower. The body of the church memorialises the Armed Services, the organ loft the Navy and the bell tower the Air Force. The large window at the west of the church commemorates those who gave their lives during the second world war.
The bell tower was added in 1964 to commemorate the Air Force. The bell is regularly rung to signify the beginning of our services and at the conclusion of both weddings and funerals.

Our Life
Being an established church, there is a mix of the young right through to the very elderly, with a considerable array of church, social, and community activities. There is much scope in our church life for individuals who bring initiative to commence or support existing and new activities. Feel welcome to browse our website and contact us to see how you may become involved.
Our location in Hamilton is ideal for our charity work, such as fund raising through an exciting monthly Jumble Sale. Perhaps you want to explore your discipleship with the Lord and would like to join our fortnightly bible study group. Are you a meditation guru? We have that too. Maybe you are just ‘out there’ a bit alone, and would like a social get together. See our Activities page for more details. People are very friendly and there is no pressure to do this or that.

From the Archbishop, Lenten Study: Journey to HopeI write to commend the Lenten study 'Journey to Hope', to all members of the Diocesan family. This study has been written by a team that the Archbishop appointed in late 2016. It is intended to help us learn from our past and to grow in faith, hope, and love. It draws on the messages and stories from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, and on scripture readings for the season of Lent.
The study can be found here on the Diocesan Website >
It contains disturbing stories. Can I recommend that you join a Lenten Study group or that you speak to me (Marian) another trusted person if you find it confronting or if it raises issues for you?
Kids Church will next be gathering on Sunday 18th at 9.15am. We will be learning about Ash Wednesday & Lent with some art activities.
World Day of Prayer - A service will be held at Our Lady Help of Christians at 10.00 am on Friday 2nd March 2018, 9 Bowman Street, Hendra with morning tea afterwards.
Memorial Service - The Eternal SilenceIn response to a request for a Memorial Service from a survivor of sexual abuse by a Church Worker, the Anglican Church Southern Queensland engaged in a process of consultation with survivor support groups and agencies. These encouraged us to pursue the idea, with number of agency and group representatives indicating that it could be a very significant offering to survivors of abuse, and to the families and friends of those who died by suicide.
The Memorial Service will be held on THURSDAY 8 MARCH 7 PM, ST JOHN'S CATHEDRAL
Next Saturday Breakfast: 3rd March 2018 at the Journey Cafe (see bulletin for details or call our office). See more here >
Healing Service: On the third Wednesday of every month there is a time of healing prayer at the 10am Eucharist. The next healing service will be on March 21st.
Annual General Meeting: The Annual General Meeting will be held in the Columbarium on February 25th after the 9:30am service. Nominations and notices of motion must be given to the office by February 15th so that they can be included in the Pew Sheet.
Annual Reports should all now be submitted. If you still have not completed your annual report, please send to Marian asap.
Memorial Service - First Saturday of the month, in the Columbarium 7:30am.
Meditation resumes on February 7th 2018, and the Bible Studies also resume now that Marian had returned from holidays.
Lent - What will you do this Lent to help you focus your minds and your lives on Christ? Some of you may find it helpful to walk the Stations of the Cross that Rosemary will set up in the Columbarium.
