Last Saturday, we had our first Women’s Breakfast for the year! It was a great time of fellowship and worship where we got to hear from God’s word on what feminine strength looks like. Emma Taylor from SG Sydney came and shared on “The Right Kind of Strong”, unpacking from God’s word that to be strong in the biblical sense, we must first admit and be aware of our weakness. In a world and culture filled with messages of “female empowerment”, it was refreshing to be reminded that true power, God’s power, is made perfect in our weakness.
On the roster you would have noticed a change in plans, there’s a slot ‘Lunch at Iron St - Hospitality Team’. Originally, the idea was to have a catered lunch organised by a team at Iron Street rather than at a house but I have decided that for this upcoming roster that it’s not something we can pull off as a church. As such, the first Sunday of June and July, there’ll be no lunch after church planned. Feel free to look ahead and invite people over to yours, look for new people and schedule a lunch with them, etc etc!
If you are passionate about making this idea happen, would love to cook for 50-80 people, organise cutlery, corckery, cleaning, etc for it. Then please let me know! Riley

Praise God! - last week we had 9 people come along to our first night of Alpha
We had a great time eating, watching our first Alpha episode and discussion groups.
The Spirit definitely strengthened us in our faith in Christ throughout the night and gave us immense joy in planting/watering the gospel seed in the lives of those who attended. God will provide the growth in His perfect timing.
We were also encouraged throughout the night knowing that we had fellow saints praying for us and the guests. Join us again tonight at Iron St or on Zoom (LG leaders have the link) for the Alpha Engine Room. Prayer will commence 8.30pm till 9pm.
As always, It’s not too late to invite. If you know of anyone who would be keen to join us from next week onwards, please reach out to them.

Ladies Breakfast will be held this Saturday the 28th of May @ Iron St Chapel.
These breakfasts are an opportunity to gather together as ladies for food, fellowship and a time of opening up God’s Word.
We have a special guest speaker - Emma Taylor (SG Wahroonga), talking on a topic called ’The Right Kind Of Strong’ and a time of Q/A afterwards.
God calls women to be strong, but His idea of what it means to be a strong women is different to the one our culture gives us. What does it mean to be a strong women as biblically defined? How can SG Parra women grow to be this kind of women? We would love you to join us as we unpack this topic together.
The cost of the morning will be $5. To sign up please text Rebs on 0430 285 263.
This Sunday, May 29, we will be having our Baby Dedication Sunday.
These Sunday’s are very special to us as a church as we set aside time to thank God for the lives of our children and dedicate ourselves and our child(ren) to the things of the Lord.
So please mark your calendars and plan to join us.
Psalm 127:3 - ‘Behold children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.’
