All Welcome – Worship Services At St Paul
Everyone is welcome to join us on Sunday morning for worship. Worship times are 8.30am for a Traditional Service and 10.00am for a more Contemporary service with Godly Play on offer for Primary School aged children. Tea and Coffee and a time of gathering is held most weeks after both worship services. This Sunday we will be commemorating Reformation Day.
Reformation Day
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. The colour of the day is RED reminding us of the Holy Spirit coming to God’s people.
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 painted penguins and in sensory play we played with bubble foam, a mixture of 1 part bubble bath to 2 parts water and beaten on high with a hand mixer to feel like whipped egg white.
For Story Time we read ‘Rainbow Rob’ by Roger Priddy, the story of a penguin off on an adventure to find his true colours.
