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 is the Last Sunday of the Church Year, which recognises the hope we find knowing that one day Jesus will return to make everything in this world right and good again. Across the Church year we are reminded that Jesus is continually with us, through all seasons of life and the promise of hope and joy that life with him brings.
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.
This week’s theme was Farm animals – cows, horses, sheep and goats.
For Story Time we read ‘Moo’ which was full of different farm animals and was a good chance to practise our different animal voices. Naturally the songs leant in that direction, with Old McDonald, Baa Baa Black Sheep and the Dingle Dangle Scarecrow. For craft time we turned hand prints into cows, with always popular googly eyes and sensory play involved pouring corn into cartons.
There are currently a few vacancies at Playgroup, so now is a good time to come and give it a try.

Mealtime Prayer:
Lord of lords and King of kings, to you our thanks and praise we bring, for health and food and all
you give, for every moment that we live. Amen.

Lord Jesus, King of kings, come and rule over us. Amen.

May God make you patient and strong, so that you never give up. Amen.
