Synod Sunday - 21st April

This coming Sunday is the beginning of our church's national Convention of Synod taking place in Adelaide. Although we have lots of people attending the Synod service with our choir singing there, we will still be having service in Shepparton.

Pastor Graham will be leading service beginning at 11am. Sunday is known as Good Shepherd Sunday which gives us an opportunity to give thanks for our Good Shepherd who lays His life down for the sheep.

The Lord be with you,
Pastor Matt

Sunday 14th April - 8.30am

The week has disappeared far too quickly and I find it's Friday night before I'm updating the blog!

Service this Sunday begins at 8.30am.

St Paul's choir will begin thier final week of preparations before heading to Adelaide to sing at the opening service (21/4) for the LCA's triennial Convention of Synod and at the afternoon celebration Alive 175! There's still plenty of room at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre (and on our bus) so come along on the 21st April if you can - it will be a 'once in a generation' celebration for our church.

More information is available at http://www.lcasynod.org.au/index.php/alive175/

For this Sunday the readings are:

Acts 9:1-20 The conversion of Saul

Revelation 5:11-14 Worthy is the Lamb that was killed

John 21:1-19 Jesus and the miraculous catch of fish; words to Peter

Blessings,

Pastor Matt 

For Sunday 7th April - 11am

We are back to the regular program of service times from this Sunday with service beginning at 11am. Following on from the wonderful celebration of the Lord's resurrection last week, we will follow the disciples' srtuggles with faith and doubt and rejoice in the risen Lord's gifts to the church.

Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

We will also have the great privilege of witnessing two of our young ones receiving the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit as they are baptised.

A shared lunch will follow the service - ALL welcome!

Here are the readings: 

Acts 5:27-32 The apostles boldly proclaim Jesus' resurrection 
Revelation 1:4-8 Every eye will see the Lord 
John 20:19-31 Thomas sees the risen Christ and believes

The peace of the risen Lord be with you,

Pastor Matt
