SG Kids is now going to be run in the Flexible Learning Space where we use to have it last year!
We will continue to keep all the kids together for the rest of this roster but will eventually split back down into our 3 groups from then.
We are thanking the Lord for the opportunity to be able to use this space again and pray that it will bless the kids and leaders!
As you may be aware our Premier announced some wonderful changes in Covid-19 restrictions to come into affect from Monday 29th March…
No cap on attendance at funerals or weddings
No cap on number of people in your home
Singing allowed in public worship and no need to wear masks
All services to return to 2m2 per person capacity
This is exactly what we had been hoping and praying for, and we’re so thrilled to share this good news with you!!
However, I have even more good news, reported by Glen Davies, the Sydney Anglican Archbishop..
‘After further conversations with Minister Hazard this week, I am delighted to inform you that he has granted an exception to all places of worship across the State for this weekend, with regard to singing. In other words, on Palm Sunday we shall be exempt from the current rules about singing with masks…’
So no mandatory masks this week folks. Once again, we really do have 10,000 reasons to praise don’t we!!
We are so very glad to bring this news to you today. Praise His Name!!
If you are interested please RSVP ASAP as it may already be too late!

Last Sunday Jesus turned to address our relationships within the Kingdom of God and we saw that “Kingdom righteousness is revealed in real world relationships”. How we live with others is a key mark of the follower of Jesus, and our main aim: “whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.. You can listen to the message here!
Your GG leaders will let you know all the details!
This Friday we are going to fast for: mission in our lives and our city!
How do we fast?
Simply, abstain from food or other controlling appetite, for one day, once a month, and focus yourself on prayer that longs and pines for God. For example, my practice is to skip all meals on a Friday and break my fast at dinner time.
During the day I try to make plans for prayer that centre’s my heart on the Lord, crying out for more of Him and interceding for others in my life.
You don’t have to do it alone! Do it with someone, that is, plan it together, spur each other on.
Then, let’s come together for Mission Prayer and break the fast together!

We are back with Life Groups this week! Your LG leaders will send you all the information you need!
Last Sunday we had the opportunity to be pastored by Jesus in Matthew 6:25-34 as he dove in to engage with our fears and anxieties that can block us seeking first the Kingdom. In this message we saw that our worries are not so much the problem it is what we do with them. The main idea: Our worries are cured by knowing our heavenly father and transformed by seeking His kingdom. You can listen to the message here once it is uploaded.
