The Church of the Good Shepherd
If you have teenagers in your household, they are invited to come to our new Kangaroo Valley high school youth group!
It is now up and running every Friday night in term time from 6 pm to 8 pm in our church hall.
We’ll have fun activities, supper and conversation together working out what it looks like to trust God in 21st century culture. The group is led by Katrina Thomas and Andrew Paterson.
This month we’ve been continuing to look at the book of James in the New Testament.
Jesus says to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself'.
The book of James shows us how to love one another in practice with our speech, our money and through our obedience to God.
We’ve been very encouraged to see how God has been changing lives in the Valley.
It’s been fantastic to hear how some people in the area have become followers of Jesus in the last month.
We have been asking God in our services to change people’s hearts in the Valley so that they accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
Our church ran Harvest FoodFEST on Sunday February 27.
We asked people from church and the community to bring some of the produce and flowers from their backyards and farms to sell.
With the proceeds we were able to provide some relief money to our sister Anglican church in Tully, Queensland, to help them get back on track.
Thanks to all who provided things to sell.
Finally - Camille and Mick Delmenico and Andrew and Cecily Paterson would like to invite you all to come to the 10 am service on Sunday March 13 in the church hall at rear for the dedication and baptism of Nina Delmenico and Corinne Paterson!
Grace and peace,
Andrew Paterson
