Parramatters - 2nd April 2021

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 continue our series 'JESUS'. 

02 April | Good Friday | Jesus Died
04 April | Easter Sunday | Jesus Rose 
11 April | Jesus Reigns

We invite you to watch this Easter message from Commissioners Janine and Robert Donaldson, where they remind us of the significance of Easter in bringing hope in times of darkness (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Km_iIng6MNw).

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 this 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. 

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. 

Celebration of Life - Albertus Offereins
Due to COVID restrictions, 12 months ago, attendance at the funeral of Albertus Offereins was restricted to 10 people - all of whom were from his and Joyce's family. Now that restrictions are lifted, we are able to invite others from his Salvationist family to attend a short celebration of his life.

This service is planned for Sunday 18th April, to commence at approximately 12:15pm, following the 11am service at Parramatta Corps.

It will provide an opportunity to both remember Albertus, and give thanks for his many areas of service within the Corps. You are all invited to attend.
