WELCOME BACK!

Welcome to all St Paul staff, children and families at the start of a new school year.  We pray that you see God’s blessings in each day and feel his strength and love as he walks alongside you as you grow and take on new challenges this year. 

WORSHIP AT ST PAUL 

Everyone is welcome to attend the worship service held in the church each Sunday at 9.30am.  Tea and coffee are offered for an opportunity for fellowship after the service each week.

PLAYGROUP @ ST PAUL

Held every Tuesday during term time from 9-10.30am in the Hall, Playgroup @ St Paul is for children aged 0-5 and a parent/caregiver. School families are more than welcome to come across after you have done the school drop-off.  We won’t be completely set up, but you are still welcome to hang out with us.

Cost is $2 per family, and your first visit is free. 

Come and check out the play space, make a craft, play with playdough, explore the sensory play space, and join in with story and song time.

No bookings are required, just bring a drink bottle and healthy snack for you and your child and join in the fun.

Playgroup @ St Paul is starting back in the new year on Tuesday 3 February at 9.00am.

GROWING FAITH AT HOME 

This resource is developed by the Lutheran Church of Australia and is intended to be a guide in sharing faith activities with members of your family.

Here are a few ways you could introduce faith discussions in your home and day-to-day life.

BIBLE VERSE OF THE WEEK

This week, the Bible verse is spoken by God’s prophet Micah, who told the people that God wants them to worship him not only with their words, but with their actions too.  He wanted them to show kindness and mercy to others and treat them in good and right ways.

I wonder what ways you as a household could do a ‘Micah challenge’ this week to bless someone around you?

MEALTIME PRAYER

God, you have blessed us with daily bread. Bless us also with gratitude, generosity and compassion for others. Amen.

PRAYER

God, help us to live in peace with one another, and to bring peace where there is trouble.  Amen.

BLESSING

(Name) May God make your life a great blessing to others.  Amen.
