Easter is easily one of the most important dates on our calendar each year, and this year is no different! We are so looking forward to marking the death, burial and resurrection of our Saviour with a Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday service at Iron St:

Good Friday Service: 7th April at 10am

Easter Sunday Service: 9th April at 10am

Please feel free to invite friends and family along to both services! This will be a wonderful opportunity for all to either be reminded of the Gospel or to hear it for the first time.

We will be holding a Democracy Sausage Sizzle on Election Day this year! This will be a great opportunity for outreach and connecting with the local community.

It will be held at Iron Street on Saturday, the 25th of March.

There will be opportunities to volunteer on the day for the following: set up, pack down, sausage sizzle and coffee. If you are interested in helping out at all on the day, please contact Abella or Georgia Lick.

Thankyou!

We had a wonderful time at our first Women’s Breakfast of the year on Saturday. CJ served the ladies so well by speaking on “Making the Best Use of the Time” and unpacking what biblical rest and work look like. We were reminded of the importance of resting in Christ’s perfect work and rest whilst also following His example of work and rest.

CJ also shared some recommended resources on the topic, which you can find linked below:

• CJ Mahaney’s free, unpublished ebook, Biblical Productivity

• Carolyn Mahaney and daughters, Shopping for Time

• Kevin DeYoung, Crazy Busy

• Dane Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly and Deeper

Life Groups are on this week!

Life Groups are so vital for us as a Church as they allow us to take the joy of Sunday and work out in smaller communities where we can know each other more deeply and help each other out more personally. We hope that this time together with your group blesses you!

Your LG leaders will send you all the information you need for this week.

Join us April 29th at Fox Valley Community Centre for a night of worship and prayer led by Bob Kauflin from Sovereign Grace Music.

Our first Women’s Breakfast for the year will be on this Saturday, 8-10am!

The lovely CJ Lick will be speaking on “Making the Best Use of the Time: Working & Resting in All of Life”.

These breakfasts are a special opportunity for extended fellowship and tailored teaching on Biblical womanhood. If you can make it, please RSVP with dietary requirements to admin@sgparra.org.au.

We are so looking forward to spending the morning with you all!

G2G will be on this Sunday from 4-6pm.

There will be a games and youth talk running for the kids alongside a training session for parents. This will be a valuable opportunity for discipleship of both groups.

All parents (not just G2G parents) are invited to join the training session. However, please be mindful that there will not be supervision provided for younger siblings or children outside of the G2G age group (years 3-8).

We look forward to seeing you there.

Guys Growth Groups are on this week! Your LG leaders will let you know all the details.

As mentioned on Sunday, we have come up with some guidelines for Kids’ Supervision on Sundays. We have such a wonderful church community with a big family feel. However, we also recognise that we are in a space that is open to the public, and just like any such space, we believe it’s important to be caring for our children by being aware of their whereabouts and supervising them as best as we can.

Please see the guidelines above for supervision of your children on Sundays outside of service times.

Thank you for how you already strive to do this and thank you in advance for continuing to be vigilant about the safety and care of our kids!
