SG Parra Men’s Breakfast: WHAT’S BEST NEXT
When our time is compressed, we're feeling stressed, how do we manage it all for the glory of God?
SG men, we're committed to growing in greater understanding of the LORD, godliness and sacrificial love through Christ. As such, we want to grow in our spiritual maturity in the LORD through the application of the Gospel in every aspect of our lives.
Let's see this happen as we gather together for food, fellowship and the Word at our next Men's Breakfast.
Our next Men's Breakfast will be on:
8:30-10:30am, Saturday 15 June
at the Iron Street Hall (27 Iron St. North Parramatta)
During our time together, we'll explore how God's Word helps us know what's best next. This is a particularly important topic for us, as so much is, or is seemingly, demanded of our attention, time and effort; and, we need God's perspective on how we're to manage all of the competing demands in a God honouring way.
Having worked in the demanding financial world, now working in a bio-vocational capacity (working at SGWahroonga and in finance), and trying to raise a family in the fear of the LORD, Andrew Leung understands the challenge of responding to the question: What's Best Next? He will be unpacking this important and universally experienced question for our lives, grounding it on the bedrock of Scripture.
I would strongly encourage you to attend, so that we might spur each other on in faithfulness and strength in the LORD, so please RSVP to Joel at joel@sgparra.org.au.
Also, if you'd be able and willing to contribute $10 for the breakfast, that'd be appreciated.
Our next Baby Dedications are coming up on Sunday the 23 June. If you would like to dedicate your child/ren on this day, please contact Rebs at admin@sgparra.org.au. This is also a great time to invite family and friends to church. For the rest of us, it’s a great time to welcome new faces and exude the love of Christ to all who come through our doors.
If you have any questions at all about baby dedications, please don’t hesitate to speak with Riley on a Sunday or contact him at riley@sgparra.org.au.
It’s Ladies Growth Groups this week! Your LG leader will have all the details you need.
Over the weekend, we held our inaugural Sovereign Grace Australia Women’s Conference. The theme of our time together was: When Life Is A Lot, and Trish Donohue gave three helpful talks which spoke into our sense of overwhelm in the midst of a full and busy life!
It was a sweet time of fellowship between our two Sovereign Grace Churches here in Australia and a timely opportunity for many of us to slow down for the day and hear what God’s word had to say about lies we may believe, comparison with others and distractions in the busy-ness of day-to-day life.
The talks are now available on the Sovereign Grace Parramatta streaming channel on Apple Podcasts and on Spotify or on our website.
