Please note that there will be NO SERVICE in Echuca this Sunday (30/11).
We are holding a parish service at Shepparton, beginning at 10am. Following service we will be having a shared lunch at St Paul's, followed by a game of soccer down the road.
Please come along and enjoy being in God's presence together and then the fellowship which will follow.

For Sunday 23rd November, 11.00am
This coming Sunday we've had to rearrange our service times as we have a guest preacher, Pastor Allan Heppner, the District's Pastor for Congregational Support.
Pastor Allan will be leading studies in Echuca on Saturday afternoon(1pm-4.30pm) on outreach and evangelism, and will be following it up with a sermon on discipleship on Sunday morning. Service will begin at 11.00am and will be followed by lunch and another study session which will finish by 2.30pm.
I look forward to seeing you all there as this will be a wonderful opportunity for us to be reminded of how we are called to serve God by serving those around us.
God's peace,
Pastor Matt

For Sunday 16th November, 11.00am
This Sunday (16/11) Divine Service will begin at 11.00am.
As we enter the second last Sunday of the Church year, our thoughts continue to be on end times, and in particular, St Paul's admonition in 1 Thessalonians for us to be alert and self-controlled, encouraging one another and building each other up. Clearly this is not a call for the church to become a mutual admiration society. Instead it is a call for us to live with the end in sight. To live in such a way that we do not fall asleep through the neglect of our faith or allow our brothers and sisters in Christ to fall asleep and therefore be lost to the Lord. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.
God's peace,
Pastor Matt
