• “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

• “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 1 John 4:11.

• “love one another deeply, from the heart.” 1 Peter 1:22

Since God SO loved us, we love one another deeply from the heart.  One of the many ways we do this, is by WELCOMING all into God’s church here at St Johns!  We want to help people join us well and feel that they truly belong to God and to each other as Christ’s body, the church. 

If you are new, or feel ‘new-ish’, or would just like to come along – you are warmly invited to join us at a WELCOME afternoon tea on Sunday 15th June, from 3pm in the church hall.  This is a very relaxed time to have a cuppa together, get to know us better and find out ways you could feel more at home.  If you can think of someone you think would benefit from coming along, please invite them to come along with you.  All welcome.

To further help people connect well with us, we are running a 2-week series called ‘The CONNECT series’, on Mondays 23rd and 30th June 7pm.  Over two evenings we’ll explore how God’s purpose shapes our lives, relationships, attitudes and spiritual growth.  Again, this is for anyone who feels a bit new, but also for anyone to see how you could be involved in our mission of loving God and making Him known in the Hawkesbury.

“My command is this:  Love each other as I have loved you”.  John 15:12
