Welcome to St Paul’s! This week we are joyful in celebrating Pentecost and God’s gift of the Holy Spirit! We also welcome Papua New Guinean interns from Warrambui, who will bless our service with song and stories. Please plan to enjoy lunch with us after worship- bring a dish from your own cultural background to share. The Holy Spirit is God’s gift to keep us in closer community with God and with each other. Let’s spend this week reaching out to our neighbours with the Holy Spirit’s grace and love!

Thanks for joining us at St Paul’s this week! Did you realise Jesus was still thinking of YOU, even as he returned to his Father in Heaven? That’s right- look at his prayer from John 17- Jesus prayed protection over you as he went to be with God! Jesus’ desire was that you would be protected in God’s name, and that you would be drawn closer in unity with your Christian sisters and brothers all around the world. Isn’t that a beautiful thought? Remember, as you go through this week, that you are under the protection of our Lord, the Most High. Amen.

Welcome to St Paul’s! We love that you are here. This week we hear Jesus comforting us and reminding us that we will never be alone. He will send the Holy Spirit to be with us, to guide us and bring peace to our hearts. How wonderful to have a Saviour who cares for us so deeply! Indeed, we are privileged to be a part of God’s family- eagerly seeking the love that brings us eternal life through the cross of Easter. May you be blessed with peace and hope.

Welcome to St Paul’s! There is room for you in God’s house! In these times of worldly trouble and strife, how good it is to reflect on these words of Jesus from John 14! Do not let your heart be troubled. Pass it over to the keeper of your life- let it be bathed in the peace and joy of the Holy Spirit! Recall this week our great hope- that we belong to Jesus, and that He has made a place for us with God, through His great act of reconciliation on the cross. Amen.

We’re glad you’re here with us at St Paul’s! Join us this week as we listen to the voice of our Great Shepherd, who brings us life to the full. Our world currently seems full of chaos and pervasive fear- yet we know that there is a greater hope. As we continue in this Easter season let’s open our ears and our hearts to the voice of Jesus, who gave his life so we could know peace and joy- then reach out to our neighbours and share that source of joy. Amen.

We are so glad you have joined us at St Paul’s! This week we hear of Jesus being recognised in breaking bread at Emmaus. What joy his disciples had in recognising the Risen Jesus! How excited have you felt at seeing a friend or relative you have missed? Can you recall the great happiness with which you embraced them again? May you feel that same joy today as we share Jesus’ meal at the altar and go into the world renewed. Amen.

Welcome, in the joy of the Risen Christ! We love that you are here with us. This week we recall things we struggle to believe in, whatever that might be for us. In Thomas’ case it was that Jesus had truly risen. We might struggle to believe that God has our life in his hands, or that we are truly loved by Jesus. Thomas believed in Jesus’ resurrection because he could reach out and touch Jesus. God’s word reassures us that blessings are even greater for those who believe and have not yet seen Jesus. May we also remember that each person around us carries the image of God. Jesus walks beside us and among us- we see him in the care of a friend, or in the love of a mother who provides for her child. May your eyes be open this week for all the signs that Jesus is truly risen, and that he truly loves you.

Dear Church Family! Welcome to this most heart-wrenching and most heart-lifting period of our church year! We are so glad you are here with us. This week we go through many emotions as we travel with Jesus from his last meal with friends to his death and finally into his everlasting life. We are especially ‘moved’ during the darkest times as we remember Jesus died for us- all his suffering was freely given so we might be in full relationship with his Father, our God. What a gift of love! How much more we rejoice to see him out of the tomb- and recall that as Jesus is not in the tomb he is free to be here with US, every day, walking beside us in our own journey. God bless you this Easter and always!
