28 APRIL – Sunday Service ⛪️
This Sunday, Anthony is back and will be bringing us the message about facing crossroads. All welcome!
Anthony says: “Have you ever been in a foreign city or town following directions on your phone or an old-school tourist map, and you come to a crossroads? It’s not clearly on your map, and google maps starts freaking out, and now you have to make a decision – which way do I go? Life is full of crossroads; most crossroads we don’t even have to think about, like whether we should watch Netflix or do something productive like fold the washing, read a book or mow the lawn; of course, we watch Netflix. However, many crossroads we face in life are a little more serious and can have a more significant impact on our lives. Making big decisions can be daunting. You might feel overwhelmed by your choices, worry about taking the wrong path, and possibly even freeze when faced with these crossroads. Sunday, we will look at some great practical advice from the Bible when facing these crossroads – see you Sunday.”

PARKY COMMUNITY PANTRY OPENING TIMES
The Community Pantry opening hours for Term 2 are as follows:
· Tue 11.45am-1.30pm (the pantry will open at 11.45am for conversations after the Village, however the food won’t actually be delivered until approx 12.30pm)
· Wed 11.15am-3pm
· Sat 10.30am-12noon
Please note that for health & safety reasons, people will need to remain in the undercover carport area until after staff have finished unloading food, as it’s becoming too chaotic (and a little dangerous) backing cars and shifting boxes with people and kids everywhere whilst trying to unload!
