WORSHIP SERVICES AT ST PAUL 

Everyone is welcome to attend the worship service held in the church each Sunday at 9.30am.

PLAYGROUP @ ST PAUL

Held every Tuesday during term time from 9-10.30am, 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.

This week we coloured in and decorated diyas at the craft table in time for Diwali next week.

Next Tuesday we will be having looking at tigers as we read the book ‘Growl Like a Tiger’ by Alison Lester.

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.

This week the Bible reading is encouragement for daily living with Jesus and the promise that if we choose to follow Him, when we die, we can live with him eternally in Heaven.

Choosing to follow Jesus doesn’t automatically make life easier.  There are hard days and struggles and hurts and fears, but the promise of living in Heaven forever with Him gives hope and joy each day to continue in the daily walk with him. 

MEALTIME PRAYER

We thank you for our food, O God, for life and joy and play.  We thank you for the special things you give to us this day.  Amen.

PRAYER

God, have mercy on us, for we are sinners. Amen.

BLESSING

(Name) May the Lord give you strength to share his good news with others.  Amen.
