Welcome to St Paul’s. If this is your first visit to St Paul’s, or if you have recently joined us, we’d just like to say how great it is to have you with us. We are a church full of people who are trying to live lives that reflect Jesus and we would be so pleased if you’d consider joining in with us. Please don’t go today without touching base. You can do that by filling in one of the welcome cards, or simply visiting the Welcome Desk in the Foyer. All the information about our church family life is on our website stpaulsealing.com. We look forward to getting to know you. With our blessing, Mark and Lindsay Melluish

BEN AND LYDIA STRAIN We’re really looking forward to welcoming Ben and Lydia as they begin their ministry here at St Paul’s.

CAP MONEY COURSE CAP Money Course is a money management course that teaches people budgeting skills and a simple, cash-based system that works. Whether your income is £5,000 or £50,000, you still need to budget and one of the principles of the course is to spend well and enjoyably. The course is relaxed, easy going and supportive. Our next course at St Paul’s starts tomorrow, Monday 13 and 20 June in the Foyer at the back of church from 6:30–9pm. Speak to Iain Carruthers or email him on iaincarruthers@gmail.com for more information.

PICK A FIGHT This month’s fight is: Gurnell Grove Over this summer St Paul’s is planting a small team into the Gurnell Grove estate. The aim of the team is to establish a thriving missional community on the Gurnell Grove estate where hundreds of local people gather in homes and buildings because they’ve fallen in love with Jesus. Please pray: ● that the team would find suitable housing on the estate ● that the local council would see the value of the missional community and seek to work with them ● that the right team would continue to form ● that God would release the resources that the team need ● that God would prepare the peacemakers on the estate who will welcome and work with the team ● for protection for the team from the schemes of the enemy
CHURCH LIFE Volunteers Celebration If you volunteer in any of the St Paul's ministries you should have received an invitation to our annual Volunteers Celebration on Friday 17 June 8:30-10: 30pm. If not please do let Simon Richardson know as this is an oversight. It will be a night not to be missed!!
Prophetic words or pictures for the church Following the week of prayer that we recently enjoyed together as a church we have become aware that several people have prophetic words or pictures for us as a church community and are not sure what to do with these. If you feel you receive a prophetic picture or word please would you write it down and email it to Mark Melluish so that we can have a file of them and be able to reflect and pray through them. Thanks for your support with this.
Hungry Every month on the third Tuesday evening we have Hungry. Our next Hungry evening is Tuesday 21st June 8pm-9:30pm in the Foyer. Hungry is an evening where we intentionally seek more of God’s presence. We don’t have an agenda and we intentionally make space to allow the Spirit to lead us during the evening. Everyone is welcome. For more information please contact Chris Fox or Lindsay Melluish
Summer Create Start that holiday feeling by getting creative with us! On Thursday 7 July 9:45-11am, the church will be transformed into a creative space.
