ALL WELCOME – Worship Services at St Paul
Everyone is welcome to join us on Sunday morning for worship. For a trial period of six months, there will be one combined service held at 9.30 on the first Sunday of the Month, with a blended style of worship. This means that this Sunday, 6th November, there will be one service at 9.30am. During the service there will be a commemoration of All Saints Day.
All Saints Day
DID YOU KNOW? All Saints Day is celebrated on the 1st of November every year and is a good time to face death and sadness with hope and courage. In the Church we remember and give thanks to God for Christians who have died in the faith and during the service, we light candles to remember those friends and loved ones. The Bible verses 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 remind us that while we grieve those gone before us, we have hope that all people who live in Jesus, both living and dead, will be there on the day when He returns and will live with him together forever in Heaven.
Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Luke 6:21b
Playgroup @ St Paul
Playgroup @St Paul is on each Tuesday during Term time in the Hall, from 9-10.30, but we welcome people in anytime from 8.30 onwards while we set up. Join us for a coffee, playtime, story time and songs from
9-10.30 each week during school terms. Cost is $2 per family.
For craft time, we made emus and in sensory play we played with coloured rice.
For Story Time we read ‘Edward the Emu’ by Sheena Knowles, the story of an emu trying to find the best animal at the zoo. We also learnt a new emu song and the very catchy barramundi song, but they are not yet as popular as the more classic Eency Wincy Spider and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
