For Sunday 29th June - 10.00am

PARISH SERVICE 10AM

This Sunday (29/6) Trinity Lutheran Church in Echuca will be hosting a service of the Goulburn Murray Lutheran Parish. Service will begin at 10am and be followed by lunch and an opportunity to spend time with our brothers and sisters in Christ from across the parish. Please come along to worship together and get to know one another a little better.

If you wish to meet at St Paul's at 8.40am to arrange car pooling, there may even be some spare seats on the bus.


During the service we will hear the story of the call for Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac. As we consider the willing obedience not just of Abraham, but also of Isaac, we will have an opportunity to think about the place of faith and trust in the life of the Christian.

God's peace,
Pastor Matt

For Sunday 22nd June - 11.00am

Divine service this Sunday will begin at 11.00am at St Paul's.

The readings for your preparation are:

Genesis 21:8-21; God's promise to Hagar and Ishmael
Romans 6:1b-11; Dead to sin, but alive to Christ
Matthew 10:24-39; Do not be afraid; take up your cross and follow Christ

God's peace,
Pastor Matt

For Sunday 15th June - 8.30am

This Sunday we will continue to ponder the great mystery of God's promises to the aging Abraham and barren Sarah. Just when doubts threatened to consume them, God Himself visits with them and restore the hope of the promise. Sarah's laughter of scoffing is turned to a laughter of joy as the most unlikely thing happens - she bears the child God had promised.

As we think on this we will take the chance to reflect on the faithfulness of God in the midst of our doubts. As St Paul says in the second reading, it is while we were still sinners that the Lord Jesus died for us. God's work doesn't wait for our perfection - instead He takes up our flesh and blood, washing it clean in His forgiving love, and dares to use us in service to the world.

Divine Service will begin at 8.30am.

God's peace,
Pastor Matt
