This Sunday, we will be starting a new sermon series titled “Discovering Lament: A Pathway to Joy in Sorrow”. We are looking forward to walking through this series together as a church and seeing what God’s word has to say on how to lament.
It’s been a joy to hear of how many people have stepped out in faith to invite their family and friends to do Alpha, a simple conversational video series that helps you explore life, faith and meaning.
In the end it didn’t work out to do in the Life Group slot for those who were interested.
But there are a couple of people who will do Alpha on Sunday evening with Ian and Sammy Commerford at their place in Dundas.
And there is room for your friend to go too! So if you have someone you know that couldn’t make midweek or wasn’t yet ready…now may be a good chance to invite them along.
It is starting in two Sundays time. Contact Richard for more details and please be praying!
G2G will be on this Sunday at 4PM.
This week, we will be having a fire night at the Song’s place. Parent and siblings of G2G are also invited! There will be singing, marshmallows and some sharing from the parents.
Given it’s a campfire night, it will run a little later, finishing at 7:30.
We look forward to seeing you there!
It’s Ladies Growth Groups this week! Your LG leader will have all the details you need.
Austin and Emma Momber who have just graduated from the Sovereign Grace Pastor’s College will be visiting Australia, arriving this Friday!
The Mombers have sensed a calling from the Lord to do mission and church planting work here in Australia. To explore this calling, Austin and Emma will both be coming out to Sydney for about three weeks to spend some time with our churches, explore the city and see how God would lead them.
Please be praying for their arrival on the 16th of June and for their time here; that it would be fruitful and edifying both for them and for our churches.
Austin will be preaching at SG Parra this Sunday!
If you are interested in hosting the Mombers for a meal or taking them out sometime, please contact Riley at rs@sgparra.org.au.
There will be Lunch after Church this week and it will be generously provided by the Gergis Family in celebration after they dedicate Yohanna! Stay for some food and fellowship after service - ALL ARE WELCOME!
The first Men’s Social is coming up on the 17th of June. We will be going on a hike along part of the Great North Walk (approx. 2 hours in duration) followed by lunch at the Wise Monkey Cafe in Berowra.
When: 8:30AM, Saturday 17th June
Where: Meet at Mt. Kuring-Gai Station
RSVP: to Joel Seric (joel@sgparra.org.au)
Please bring a bottle of water.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Registrations for Together ‘23 will be closing on Sunday 18th June at 6pm!
This is a friendly reminder to register if you’ve yet to do so.
Also, it is likely that we will only do this once every two years going forward so this is also your last chance for a while!
If you are unsure about it all…why not just come for the day on Saturday or the Sunday?

The aim of Together is to gather with both of our churches, and friends of our churches, here in Australia for a weekend of fellowship, worship, and making memories together!
Together 2023 will be running from July 21-23 and will be held at the Collaroy Centre in Narrabeen.
This year our theme is: ‘Zealous for the Name of Christ’ where we’ll be discussing the often forgotten virtue of Godly zeal. We will have the privilege of having a special guest from the U.S. join us, Jeff Purswell. He will explain what Godly zeal is and then apply it to various areas of our lives so that we will live all for the name of Christ.
You can head here to register!
(Please also note that you must still register children under the age of 3 even though their rego is free.)
If you have any questions about the conference or registration, please contact Rebs at admin@sgparra.org.au.
We look forward to seeing you there!
SG Kids is an integral part of our church’s life and it wouldn’t be possible without the countless volunteers who give up their time, energy and resources to serve the next generation!
Part of what makes this all possible are our biannual training nights - the next of which is coming up on Thursday, 13th of July.
If you serve in SG Kids, please lock in this date for our first kids workers training night of the year. More details to come. Attendance at these nights is a crucial part of serving in kids, so please make it a priority to be there.
Guys Growth Groups are on this week! Your LG leaders will let you know all the details.
