God's Grace
This week we heard the conversion story of Saul (Paul after a name change), you can find this in Acts 9: 1 – 22.
We learned that Saul was not a particularly nice person, but he met Jesus on the way to Damascus intending to persecute the Christians there, he was changed for the better.
When Saul heard the voice of Jesus, he was struck blind and so started on his journey of repentance, forgiveness, grace and therefore change.
Saul had people around him who helped him to Damascas where God lead Ananias, a Christian, to go and pray for him. When Ananias heard God’s call – he was worried, but with God’s assurance he stepped out and prayed for Saul’s eyesight and for him to be filled with the Holy Spirit. This happened and Saul/Paul went on to have many adventures with and for God…
This story reminds us of the grace that God showed Saul and the grace that he shows us every day!
Grace is
- is willing to forgive and bless us despite our shortcomings.
- enduring love and restoration.
- a free gift of life and goodness.
- love without conditions.
- Grace means that God chooses to love, forgive, and save us,
- even when we do not deserve it.
May you see and feel grace in many ways this term. May you receive the Holy Spirit as the helper who helps us to believe that Jesus is Lord.

Wild Goose Worship for Kids
What are you up to on Sunday afternoon?
Wild Good Worship is a cool name, don’t you think? A wild goose is actually a Celtic Christian symbol for the Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit is wild like a goose. We can’t try to tame Him because He is unpredictable! The Holy Spirit is free; He has His own amazing plans for us instead of what we think should happen.
Together we will unlock the gifts God has given us to release whatever the Holy Spirit wants us to. Come along kids and join us as we see the Holy Spirit’s plans for our gathering unfold!
Let’s see the Wild Goose fly!
