Seaforth Anglican Church is marking 150 years with a community open day and a creative ideas competition, inviting locals to help shape what comes next.
Seaforth Anglican Marks 150 Years with Community Celebration
Seaforth Anglican Church will commemorate its 150th anniversary with a program of official events from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 October 2025.
The occasion, recognising the church’s establishment in 1875, will combine reflection on its history with engagement in the community’s future.
Program of Events
The program will open on Friday evening with a formal gala dinner for past and present parishioners. The Rt Rev Dr Glenn Davies will deliver the keynote address.
On Saturday, the parish will host a Community Open Day from 10 am. Attendees will be invited to explore a historic display, enjoy family activities, and connect with the local community. At 12 pm, competition winners will be formally announced.
The weekend will conclude on Sunday at 10 am with a thanksgiving service led by Bishop Chris Edwards. Following the service, a community brunch will provide an opportunity for fellowship and conversation.
