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.

This week we made lots of love hearts for Valentine’s Day and in the book ‘All These Things’ by Susie Poole we found that love is kind, love is being grateful for what we have, love is looking out for others and that love keeps on going, even when we want to give up. And we had a lot of fun playing with the shaving cream in the sensory play space.

Next week we will be looking at Shrove Tuesday with the book ‘Pancakes and Toast, Dragons and Boats’ by Daniel Christos.

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 verses tell how Jesus showed his glory to some of his followers when he was transfigured and “His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light” (Matthew 17:2).  The voice of God then spoke from the clouds “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” (Matthew 17:5).

MEALTIME PRAYER

God our provider, you are full of love and full of might. May we shine for you, with faith so bright. Amen.

PRAYER

Father in heaven, thank you for the gift of your beloved son. Please open our ears to listen to him and our hearts to obey him. Amen.

BLESSING

(Name) May the Lord Jesus bring you peace as you look to him, now and always.  Amen.
