APRIL 16 — Worship at the CTM

Sunday April 16 2023, MtE morning worship will be conducted at the Centre for Theology and Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville.

In addition to being our gathered worship service for the week, this is an ‘exposure’ to the CTM site as the proposed place for relocation of MtE worship and congregational life after the sale of our North Melbourne site is complete.

 

GETTING THERE

Car parking is available on-site. The entrance to the car park is directly opposite the main entrance to the Melbourne General Cemetery.

The carpark is accessed from College Crescent, approaching from the east, for turning left into the car park. NOTE – if you’re coming from the west, you can’t turn right into the CTM but can continue to the next roundabout at the intersection with Swanston Street and do a U-turn to approach the CTM in the correct direction for onsite parking. If you miss the college turn-off coming back, veer left around the corner to find plenty of street parking not much further on.

The carpark will either be open (boom gate up) or we’ll provide you with the key code (TBA) – contact Craig or Rod if you don’t receive the code.

In the event that the car park fills (others will be using it that day), you can turn out left again and park on the college side of the street.

Car parking is also available in the streets around the CTM; there is space enough for all MtE cars in the CTM carpark, but street parking might be more convenient for some. PARKING OPTIONS ARE SHOWN IN RED.

Public transport is via trams up Lygon and Swanston Streets, and Royal Parade, each with a short-ish walk to the CTM.

 

GETTING INTO THE BUILDING

Please plan to arrive early – 9.45am or thereabouts – to allow for missing the turn-off, getting lost, not having the gate code and to find your way into the building.

Entry is via the College Crescent end of the building, through glass sliding doors. Someone will be present to greet you and let you in. Worship will be in Yuma Auditorium will be on your right once you enter the body of the building, not in the smaller chapel.

If you’re late, someone will need to come open the doors for you; the doors are locked to the outside for security reasons (something we’ll have to work around!)

WORSHIP AND AFTER

Rev Duncan McCleod, Director of eLM (education for Leadership and Ministry), will be present for the service and afterwards to give a tour of the wider facility. Please allow for another 10-15mins for this after the service.

Morning tea will be served in the hospitality area just near the worship space.
