SG Kids Workers Night - NEXT WEEK!

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 second kids workers training night of the year.
When: 7:30PM, Thursday 13th July
Where: Sovereign Grace Church Parramatta (27 Iron St, North Parramatta)

Attendance at these nights is a crucial part of serving in kids, so please make it a priority to be there. Thankyou!

No Groups On This Week

There will be no groups on during the school break - this week and next week. However, this is a great time to book in socials or catch-ups with other members of the church who we might not get to spend much time with during the term.

We hope you have a great break!

New Songs for Lament Series

As part of our new sermon series on Lament, we will be learning three new songs to introduce the element of lament into our worship. This Sunday, we’ll be introducing the song, “O God of Mercy, Hear Our Plea” by Sovereign Grace Music. You can find the links to hear this song ahead of Sunday below.

O God of Mercy, Hear Our Plea APPLE

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
O God, we’ve seen Your faithfulness
You brought us from the wilderness
But now our faith is frail and weak
O God of mercy, hear our plea

VERSE 2
When will You comfort our distress?
How long until the promised rest?
We cry to You from deepest need
O God of mercy, hear our plea

CHORUS
Abba, Father, our Redeemer
In this barren land be our hope and strength
Until glory we will trust and sing
Abba, Father, hear our plea

VERSE 3
We join creation’s longing groan
To take Your ransomed children home
For then the eyes of all will see
The God of mercy hears our plea

Providing Food For Alpha - We Need Your Help!

Starting this Sunday from (6.30pm – 8.30pm) we’ll be holding our first Alpha session at the Commerfords’.

Each session will begin with dinner as a way of getting to know those who are attending. Currently we have 4 people signed up!!

We are reaching out to you hoping that you might consider serving in Alpha by providing dinner for the attendees and the volunteers (in total – 7ppl + yourselves). It will be an opportunity to be part of the mission this way but also a way we can show our generosity by buying or making a meal. 

Acts 20:35b says, “remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’.” 

Generosity begins with receiving; and we have all received much from God! Think about all that we have which God in His grace has given to us in His kindness. In particular, he has given us our greatest treasure in Christ. Receiving is great BUT receiving and then giving is even better!  

Additionally, we do hope that if you volunteer to assist that you would also stay for the dinner portion of the night (6.30pm – 7.30pm) so that you can also be part of building friendships and being ‘salt and light’ to those exploring Christianity. We are hoping to get one volunteer for each Alpha night.

We’re looking for volunteers for the following dates:

·         9 July

·         16 July

·         23 July

·         30 July

If you can assist please reach out to Richie ASAP at richard@sgparra.org.au or 0407 272 034.

Thankyou in advance!

No 5 Minute Break

Just a reminder that these next few weeks, we’re going to trial not having our usual ‘5 Minute Break’.

We will go straight into the sermon from the announcements. The school age children will still head out at the end of the announcements. So please ensure you sign your children in before the service.

Life Groups Are On This Week

Life Groups are on this week! This will be the last meeting for the term, followed by a two week break.

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.
