Alpha Prayer on Zoom
Whilst Alpha is happening, there will also be an opportunity to pray for the participants and for Riley and Maddie who will be facilitating the course. We truly believe that prayer is a crucial component of the Alpha Course as we rely on the Lord to change hearts, and so we would like to invite you along to pray with us on Zoom at 7:30pm on each of the nights that Alpha will be running (see dates above).
Your life group leader will be sending you the Zoom link this week. We look forward to seeing you there!
Each Alpha session starting this week will begin with dinner as a way of getting to know those who are attending.
We are reaching out to you hoping that you might consider serving in Alpha by providing dinner for the attendees and the volunteers (currently approx. 6 people in total). It will be an opportunity to be a part of the mission this way but also a way we can show our generosity by buying or making a meal.
We’re looking for volunteers for the following Thursdays:
· 2nd Nov.
· 9th Nov.
· 23rd Nov.
· 30th Nov.
If you can assist please reach out to Riley at rs@sgparra.org.au.
Thankyou in advance!

Our pastor, Riley has been taking the men through a “Church Planting” course each Friday; and this coming Sunday, they will be visiting our church!
They are a joyful group of men and women, and we are looking forward to worshiping with them this week! Please greet them and get to know them!
G2G will be on this Sunday from 4-6pm.
This week, the kids will be partaking in a scavenger hunt around the Parramatta area.
A few things to note:
we will need at least one parent to attend with each child

please ensure you and your child wear comfortable, walking shoes.
We look forward to seeing you there!
