Welcome Back 

Welcome to all St Paul staff, students and families at the start of a new school year. We pray that you see God’s blessings in each day and receive his strength and love in whatever this year brings for you. 

All Welcome - Worship Services at St Paul 

Everyone is welcome to join us on Sunday morning for worship. For a trial period of six months, there will be one combined service held at 9.30 on the first Sunday of the Month, with a blended style of worship.  This means that this Sunday, 5th February, there will be one service at 9.30am.  This service will be a celebration and thanksgiving service for the 50th Anniversary of the St Paul Lutheran School and will also include the installation and blessing of our school staff.

Playgroup @ St Paul

Playgroup @ St Paul is on each Tuesday during Term time in the Hall and resumes this Tuesday, from 9-10.30am.  We welcome people anytime from 8.30 onwards to help set up. Join us for a coffee, playtime, story time and songs from 9-10.30 each week during school terms. Cost is $2 per family.  

This week we are celebrating Chinese New Year and looking at colours in the book Red is a Dragon by Roseanne Thong.  We will also make coloured paper lanterns.
