As we enter our second weekend of lockdown, there will once again be no in-person gathering this Sunday July 4. We look forward to joining with you online as we continue to unpack our 'Living Our Mission' Series, this week focusing on 'creating faith pathways.'

With current restrictions in place, our building will remain closed next week outside of Salvos Connect hours. We hope that restrictions will ease and that it may be possible to live-stream our service next weekend (July 11) and gather in a limited capacity. We will update you as soon as we have more information. In order to help your planning, we will not be holding an 11am service on Sunday July 11, even if restrictions ease - we will be holding a 9:30am service only, if we are permitted to do so.

Community Wills Day
We have a community wills day coming up at Parramatta Salvos on Wednesday 4 August. This is a service offered to our community where independent local solicitors prepare simple wills in exchange for a $70 contribution to The Salvation Army. It’s a great way to ensure you have a will that reflects your wishes, and also to support the work of Parramatta Salvos. If you’d like to book an appointment, you can do that online by following the link below. Appointments are available from 8:30am-6pm on Wednesday August 4.

There will be an Indoor Carnival on Saturday afternoon for everyone to enjoy at Parramatta Salvos, and we will join together for celebrations led by our children on Sunday morning. More information will be out soon!

Connecting People Questionnaire - Extended to July 4!
The Salvation Army (TSA) nationally is asking everyone associated with a faith expression (corps) to complete an important questionnaire. The questionnaire contains 10 questions and will give TSA a national snapshot of how people are coming to faith and engaging in mission. The snapshot will help TSA better serve and equip people in creating faith pathways to Jesus. The questionnaire will only take approx. five (5) minutes to complete and all people engaged with a Salvos faith community are encouraged to complete this questionnaire once.

Please click the link below for the short questionnaire if you haven't had a chance to complete it already.

Please continue to pray for people who are suffering due to the latest outbreak. Pray for frontline workers, especially those who are caring for COVID patients. We pray for those who feel isolated at this time, that they may feel comforted and supported during the lockdown period.
