Due to the continued lockdown in NSW, there will be no in-person gathering Sunday July 25. We would love for you to join us online as we commence our new series based on 1 Thessalonians and titled Echoes - Your lives are echoing the Master's Word.

Two of the earliest letters the Apostle Paul wrote are 1 and 2 Thessalonians. What I (Kylie) love about these letters is that Paul could have easily been writing them to us, the people at Parramatta. The Thessalonians were just ordinary people who were doing their best to live lives that echo the Master's Word, just as we are. And Paul sends this letter to encourage them and to continue teaching them the best way to live. 

After advice from our divisional and national leaders, we have made the difficult decision to close our Connect Site due to the COVID-19 situation in Greater Sydney. While our site will remain closed, community members can still call the Salvo Assessment Line on 1300 371 288 and assistance will be posted directly to them. We will reopen once again as soon as it is safe enough to do so.

As all staff at Parramatta Salvos are now working from home, the office phone will not be answered. If you need to get in touch, please email us or call the Officer Team using our mobile numbers (found in the corps directory).

Youth & Young Adults Worship Night
A Youth & Young Adults Worship Night was scheduled for August 1, however, due to the current restrictions, the team has decided to pre-record this service as we are unsure if restrictions will have eased by that day. The service will be available on our Facebook Page and YouTube Channel from 5:30pm on Sunday August 1, and we invite everyone to enjoy worship and teaching from our Worship Night Team and special guest Mj. John Viles. 
Thank you
Over the last couple of weeks we have been privileged to collect hampers filled with non-perishable food items from four different Bunnings Warehouses - Rydalmere, Northmead, Carlingford and Gladesville. The goods in these hampers will be distributed to people in our community who need additional assistance, particularly at this time. We thank Bunnings for their continuing support of The Salvation Army.
