Easter At Parramatta Salvos
We are excited about celebrating Easter with everyone at Parramatta Salvos! Join us for our 9:30am or 11am services as we begin our new series 'JESUS'. 

28 March | Palm Sunday | Jesus Saves
02 April | Good Friday | Jesus Died
04 April | Easter Sunday | Jesus Rose 
11 April | Jesus Reigns

Please take some of our invitation postcards from the foyer to give to your friends, family, colleagues or neighbours this week. 

On Good Friday we will be sharing a 'Hot Cross Bun' morning tea together between our two services. If you attend the 9:30am service, please plan to stay after church for coffee and a hot cross bun. If you attend the 11am service, please arrive any time from 10:30am to share in our special morning tea. 

Save the Date - Movie Night!
On Saturday 15 May at 6:30pm we will be holding a movie night at Parramatta Salvos to raise money for this year's Red Shield Appeal. This will be a night for all ages, so please save the date and plan to be there. Tickets will be a donation of $5 per person or $20 for a family of 4 or more. We invite you to bring a camping chair or a picnic blanket to sit on. Snacks, drinks and coffee will available to purchase on the night. Movie to be revealed soon! 

Car Parking for Sunday Services
We would like to encourage any able-bodied congregation members who attend the 9:30am service to park on the streets surrounding Parramatta Salvos. This will be especially helpful over the Easter weekend as we expect guests to attend. We want to eliminate as much congestion as possible in our car park between services, so if you are able to park and walk a little way, please do so. 

Self Denial Appeal - Still Time to Give!
Each Sunday over the last few weeks we have seen stories from around the world highlighting the international work of The Salvation Army. These stories have been both inspirational and challenging as we have seen people’s lives being transformed in many different ways.

Last Sunday, 21 March, we are held our Altar Service for the Self Denial Appeal. If you were away or forgot last week, there will be time in our services this week to bring your offering for the appeal, helping us work towards our goal of $35 000 from Parramatta Salvos.

If you cannot attend in person, you can donate online at www.selfdenial.info/au/
Please ensure that you select "Parramatta" from the "Corps/Centre drop down menu in the "Your Details" section. If you have already given online, or plan to give online, we ask that you contact Marg Robinson with your donation amount to assist us in our reporting. 

A huge THANK YOU to the many people who gave generously to the appeal last weekend. We are already well on the way to reaching our goal! Currently, we have contributed $32,585 to the appeal. We are excited to give you an updated tally next week after remaining contributions are given this week. 

Thank you!
