If you’re interested in getting baptised, we will be holding a class on Sunday the 20th of August at 9am in the Church Offices. This will be an opportunity for you to find out more about what we believe the Bible says about baptism and why it is a significant moment in the life of a Christian.
If you’d like to sign up for the class, please contact Riley at rs@sgparra.org.au.
It’s Ladies Growth Groups this week! Your LG leader will have all the details you need.
This Sunday after service, we will be having our biannual Church Family Meeting, which we call “Envision”. This is a chance for Riley and different key leaders to give the church updates on how things have been going (ministries and finances) and to give you a vision for the rest of the year.
The details are as follows:
Date: THIS SUNDAY, 6th of August
Time: 12-2:30pm (Lunch after service, followed by the Envision meeting)
There will be a supervised movie on for the kids downstairs during the meeting.
Please make this a priority as there will be important updates that won’t be repeated!
There will be Lunch after Church this week before the Envision Meeting provided by the Burnett Life Group! Stay for some food and fellowship after service - ALL ARE WELCOME!
The next Men’s event is only a few weeks away! This is a great opportunity for unhurried fellowship between the men of our church. There will also be dinner provided, followed by teaching on the topic of Taking Our Time: Orienting Our Time In Light of the Gospel.
Date: Saturday 19th August
Time: 7pm-9:30pm (Dinner Included)
Location: Church (27 Iron St, North Parramatta)

We hope you can make it and look forward to seeing you there!
Our next Women’s Breakfast is coming up on the 16th of September! Please save the date in your calendar as we’d love for all the ladies to come along. These breakfasts only happen twice a year and are a precious time of teaching and fellowship, so we hope you can join us!
More details to follow in the coming weeks.
Guys Growth Groups are on this week! Your LG leaders will let you know all the details.
We had such a wonderful time away last weekend at our Together ‘23 Retreat! It was so great to see our family of churches come together to hear from God’s word, worship and fellowship as one body, united by our love for Christ! The theme for the weekend was: Zealous for the Name of Christ which gave us an opportunity to hear about and think through God’s call on His people: “Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in Spirit, serve the Lord.” (Romans 12:11)
We had Pastors Riley Spring, Mark Prater and Brendan Willis faithfully teach us on this topic and we were challenged to continue to diligently stoke the fire of zeal for Christ by the power of His Spirit!

As you would’ve seen in our last blog newsletter, we are kicking off our new sermon series on the book of Romans this Sunday.
If you'd like to get a head start on the series, we recommend having a go of reading through the book in it's entirety in the lead-up to Sunday. We hope that it blesses you!
We had a great weekend away as a family of churches with Sovereign Grace Church Sydney at our Together ‘23 Retreat. It was a wonderful time filled with great teaching, fellowship and ministry, where we got to see and hear what it looks like to be Zealous for the Name of Christ.
The talks from the weekend are now officially up on our Podcast channel and our Website, so if you missed any or would like to listen to them again, you can find them here:
