We had an awesome Easter over Zoom! It was a sober joy to read through the last week of Jesus’ life leading up to the cross. On Thursday night we gathered for a reading and prayer time, on Good Friday we sung and celebrated the cross, on Easter Sunday we gloried in the Resurrection. Let us not leave Easter too quickly. May the word of God give us perspective for our current season! And we hope you love your gift bags!

Head to www.sgparra.org.au/sermons for the messages.

You can watch the Zoom’s here:

• Good Friday

• Easter Sunday

The amazing Abigail, and her trusty team (Maddie L, and the sisters!) have made a fantastic Easter video! Check it out! Send in your ‘Spring Break’ challenge to Abi! P.S. the challenge is for all the church not just the kids!

Take some time to read this narrative recount of Good Friday written by Pastor Rick Gamache from Cornerstone Community Church a Sovereign Grace Church in Minneapolis.

On Sunday we explored Ephesians 5:18-21 and discovered that every Christian is called to be a ‘Spirit-filled’ Christian! The Spirit filled Christian worships corporately and joyfully, gives thanks continually, and submits humbly!

You can check out the message here: www.sgparra.org.au/sermons/spirit-filled or the Zoom video here.

We also had Mark Prater, the Executive Director for Sovereign Grace Churches on our chat! He encouraged us as a church plant and prayed for us!

This week we have Growth Group for the guys! 7:30pm on Wednesday and Thursday on Zoom!

You may be wondering whether or not you can invite someone to join us for our Zoom service. The short answer is: yes! We’d love to be able to serve people with the word of God and community and fellowship, especially those people that aren’t connected with a church. You can also invite family members who would like to ‘visit’ your church but can’t due to our isolation requirements.

Please let me Arbie know for Good Friday or Daven know for Easter Sunday if a guest is coming, so they can approve them out of the waiting room!

All they have to do is go to www.sgparra.org.au/zoom and follow the instructions. They can choose how much they’d like to participate, whether they want their video on or not etc.

Join Colin Buchanan on FB Live at 5pm today!

It has been so great to be able to still have our fellowship times as a LG. Going into school holidays we are going to pause our normal LG rhythm and each LG will organise their own optional social hangouts, house party app, board game nights, etc.

We also encourage you to pursue one another individually and in small groups to check in, disciple, counsel, love, and serve each other!

I (Riley) will still be available and free during these two weeks so please reach out if you need!

Life Groups will start back on 29th April

This Good Friday at 9:30am (7.30pm US EST Thursday) Bob Kauflin & team we'll be leading some singing about the life and death of our glorious Savior.

Feel free to join them live on their Instagram or Facebook page… A wonderful way for us to start Good Friday!
