ANZAC Day 
This Sunday 25 April, we pause to reflect and remember ANZAC Day.

Our Brass Band will be supporting the Granville Anzac Day Service at 6am at Granville Memorial Park. We encourage you to attend and support this service. The band are asked to arrive by 5:45am and wear their winter uniform. 

Our 9:30am and 11am services will proceed as usual.
Photo Update
For those who have not had their picture taken for the Corps Directory, please meet up with Jon Griffin who will be available to take photos between the end of the 9:30am meeting and the commencement of the 11am meeting this Sunday. 
Corps Directory
If you do not have a computer to access the Corps Directory online, there are a limited number of paper copies available. Please contact Margaret Robinson if you need a hard copy. 
Corps Uniform Badges 
We have just received a new supply of Corps badges. If you would like to purchase a set, please contact Margaret Robinson. The cost of the badges are $20 per set. 
Ladies Fellowship
Each week Ladies Fellowship meet at Parramatta Salvos. This group provides a place for women to gather together, build friendships, give support and care, encourage learning and share the love of Christ with each other. 10am-12pm Wednesdays on Level 1 at Parramatta Salvos. 

This Wednesday April 28, we will be joined by Malcolm Pittendrigh, the National Director for Salvos Funerals. 
Divisional Family Connect Day
We invite all families with young children to attend the Divisional "Family Connect Day" at Symbio Wildlife Park and Menai Salvos on Saturday 1 May. For more information and to register head to: http://tinyurl.com/familyconnectdaymay
New Kids Group!
We are excited to let you know about our new kids percussion group called 'Pulse'. This group is open to all children - all genders, all ages and all skill levels. 

This group will run as a trial in Term 2 from 10:45am-11:30am on Sundays (following the 9:30am service), beginning Sunday 2 May.

We are hoping that it will be a convenient time for our existing families, but could also work for people in our community and encourage them to attend and be part of our Sunday congregations.

We are excited about trialling something new, and hopeful that our Parra Kids will be excited about being involved.

For more information please get in touch with Rachel Maxwell. 
Young Adults 
Our Young Adults small group has been discussing 'Hot Topics' with the help of our friends from Eva Burrows College. Last week we were joined by Rev. Dr Glen O'Brien for a discussion about LGBTQI+ Inclusion. We are learning, growing and being challenged together as we talk about subjects that are not always easy to discuss.

If you are a young adult and would like to attend our Monday evening small group in person or online, please get in contact with Montana Sandercock-Brown. 
Plumridge Family
