This week we continue our series - The Good Work - focusing on the book of Nehemiah. Nehemiah 2:18 (NLT) says, “So they began the good work.” We'll learn over the series what this good work was for Nehemiah, but each one of us has a good work to do. We may not see it yet, but it’s often right there in front of our eyes. For Nehemiah, it was a crumbled wall. For you, it could be an injustice in the world, or a need you see that no one else does. During this series, we are going to see how Nehemiah responded to his own calling and learn how we can change our world just by leaning into the unique calling that God has put in front of each of us.

Don't forget that to go along with this series we have a devotional booklet that you can follow along with in your quiet time, and we've also included some "talk-it-over" sheets that correspond to each message in this four week series. We encourage you to gather with your family or a group of friends on a Sunday, watch the online service together and spend time reflecting on these questions. 

Bless you each as you continue to love and serve,

Kylie & Sarah
(Corps Officer Team)

New Employee at Parramatta Salvos!
This week we welcome Sarah Taufaao to the team at Parramatta Salvos. Sarah is our new Community Connection Worker and we are excited to have Sarah with us. Tune in on Sunday to hear a little more about Sarah in our online service. Here's a little bit about Sarah Taufaao.

"Hi everyone! I'm Sarah and I am one blessed lady to join the Salvos team here in Parramatta as a Community Connection Worker. I come from a background in Youth work, Disability support and Mental health. For a number of years, I was a part of a beautiful team of women that volunteered with the Salvos doing Cupcake Ministry. I have enormous respect and admiration for The Salvation Army and the way they truly reflect the heart of Jesus. I can't wait to meet you all and see what God has planned for our community in this space. I hope to make Him proud!"
