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 decorated fish with dots markers at the craft table and splashed in the water in the messy tray. 

Next week we will be looking at turtles with the book ‘The Smallest Turtle’ by Lynley Dodd.

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 in the Bible verse, Jesus is comforting a woman whose brother has died.  The words Jesus spoke remind her that, even though he died, her brother lives forever in Heaven because he believed that Jesus was the Son of God and the way to live forever. 

That promise still holds true today.  Believing in Jesus as the Son of God will give you life forever in Heaven.  I think that’s a pretty good promise to hold onto.

MEALTIME PRAYER

Lord God, through this food you give us life for today, and through your Son, you give us life forever. Amen.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, we believe you are the Christ, the Son of God. Thank you for the promise of

life forever with you. Amen.

BLESSING

(Name) May the Spirit of God live in you and fill you with new life.  Amen.
