Service Recordings : Each week we record both the 9:15am and 11am services and post these onto the Glen Waverley Uniting Church website for people to watch and download at anytime. Services going back many weeks can be found on our web site. A number of our country churches use these recordings for worship the following week. We also create a small number of DVD's that are available for circulation around church members who prefer to watch these services on their TV or computer. In addition we have 3 iPads available from the church office that have the services loaded on them each Monday. So if you are unable to get to worship at any time and you would like to watch any of these services, please contact the church office or Warren Greenwood and we can arrange for a DVD or iPad to be shared with you.
