WORSHIP SERVICES AT ST PAUL 

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

REFORMATION

DID YOU KNOW? Reformation Day is October 31 every year. This day is celebrated in the Lutheran church to remember the work of Martin Luther and all the reformers and their contributions to the faith, emphasising that the truth of God comes through his word in the Bible.  Working hard can achieve a lot in this world, but the Bible tells us that our good works can’t make us right with God. We get to heaven through the grace of God alone and not in any way by ourselves.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is a gift from God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

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 had lots of fun at the craft table making tigers.

Next week we will be having fun with the favourite combination of dinosaurs and trucks with the book ‘Dinosaur Rescue’ by Penny Dale.
