5 weeks and counting till Alpha launch starting May 2022
Last year we had on average 15 people joining us on Alpha each week. Of the 15, 7 of them are currently involved in reading through the gospel of John with us! - Isn’t that amazing! All Glory to God!
There are many more ‘lost sheep’ out there and we get the privilege to partake in this Mission. Our first step is to pray but then to step out in faith and invite family, friends, colleagues and neighbours to our next Alpha.
Here’s how you can be involved:
1) Please pray!
There is no way Alpha can do anything to help anyone unless God moves in their lives and in our conversations.
2) Join the Alpha Prayer team!
During the Alpha Nights we are going to be praying for the Alpha leaders and participants. If you would like to join the Alpha Prayer Team please contact Richard.
3) Start inviting!
Even though we haven’t set a start date or finally decided on a night of the week people can now join and sign up! - Check out the promo video on: sgparra.org.au/alpha
If you have any more questions, please reach out to Richard!

This Month Sovereign Grace Music will be releasing the first half of the new Psalms album, ‘Unchanging God Vol.1’! Already there are a number of songs available and they are fantastic, head here to pre-order the new album.
From the Sovereign Grace Music Website:
“For centuries, the church has gathered to sing God’s Word back to him, especially the Psalms. That’s because the Psalms teach us that neither dark despair nor jubilant celebration is out of place when God’s people approach him. Through the Psalms we learn to tremble before God’s majestic holiness even as his steadfast love invites us to draw nearer. In every situation he is our refuge, shield, comfort, deliverer, and king. He is our unchanging God. And now, Jesus Christ has enabled us to sing the Psalms with a faith and joy that only the fully forgiven can experience.
We pray these songs we’ve written from the Psalms would lead you to gladly say with the Psalmist, “Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in your word” (Psalm 119:74).”
On Wednesday 23rd March, we will have no Life Group’s so that all our church can attend this important seminar hosted by SG Wahroonga with guest speaker Andy Farmer from Covenant Fellowship Church (a SG Church in the US).
The topic is one that affects us all wether personally or with people we know and love: ‘Dealing with the Realities of Mental Illness’. Please put it in the calendar (it should already be there if you have the church cal!), get your baby sitter, and come ready to learn and ask questions.
Lunch after church will be at the Spring’s House, bring $5 per adult for chicken and chips. We’ll have some garlic dip, pickles, and drinks. Looking forward to it!
