In the past, residents from Warrawee on Sydney’s north shore have not had an Anglican church to call their own. However, due to a partnership between St James’, Turramurra and St Philip’s, Turramurra South, that is all about to change.
Both parishes had separately recognised the need for a church plant in Warrawee but, on their own, neither had the numbers or resources to do it properly. So the logical decision was to work together.
“There is a pocket of land around Warrawee Public School that neither of us is really connected with,” said the Rev Michael Stead from St James’. “We saw the untapped potential there and thought we could reach these families if we worked together.”
The church plant will commence in January next year with a group of about 50 people from both churches. The new church, which will be called Warrawee Anglican, will meet in the public school hall. To read more, click here.
