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

GENEROUS GIVING Last month as a church we were reflecting on our support for the ministries we offer. A huge thank you to those of you who have already responded to this appeal but if you haven't yet had the opportunity to join our giving scheme please would you pick up a brochure today. They are available from the 'Welcome' desk in the foyer. Thanks so much for doing this.
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 is on 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.
SUNDAY SERVICES | 8AM 9:15AM 11AM 6:30PM
DATES FOR YOUR DIARY Sunday 12th June - Queen's 90th Birthday Street Party. All invited to have fun, hang out the bunting and enjoy a party with all the neighbours. Friday 17th June - Our volunteers celebration where we thank and celebrate all those who volunteer for us each week in our various activities. Sunday 19th June - Father's Day Celebration with Classic Car Show and BBQ. Why not invite your friends to what will be a great fun morning both inside and outside church. Sunday 3rd July - Celebration for Mark and Laura Tate as they move to plant a new church community and a Welcome to Ben and Lydia Strain as they begin their ministry amongst us. Sunday 10th July. Two Guest speakers. Big Questions - in the morning at the 9:15 & 11:00 we have Katharine Welby Roberts joining us. Katharine (daughter of our Archbishop) speaks on the issue of the church and Mental Health. Her own story of mental health is very special so do invite friends and neighbours. They will be both informed and given hope. Then at 6:30pm we have Justyn Rees Larcombe speaking. Justyn had it all. A successful career in the army followed by a great city career in insurance; but he started to believe the book makers and it all went wrong. Come and be inspired by a man who has truly experienced the Grace of God. Sunday 17th July we celebrate Richard and Julie Thomas as they prepare to leave Ealing and lead St Philips Tunbridge Wells.
CHURCH LIFE Ministry Training Ministry in the Power of the Spirit is a core part of what we do as a church, primarily seen through the offer of prayer ministry at all our services and gatherings. This Monday (6th June) is the second of our two training evenings that will equip you to minister. All are welcome to come along, and don’t worry if you missed the first evening as we’ll recap what was taught there. Every participant gets a training booklet. This training is also for those who are part of, or want to join the Ealing Prayer on the Streets team. For more information please contact Chris Fox or Lindsay Melluish.
Father's Day We are arranging a Classic Car show again and have prepared some invitation cards for anyone you know who has a special car or even a car parked on a street nearby that you would be able to pop an invitation under the windscreen wiper for us. Please do pick up an invitation today if you feel able to help with this. I'm also looking for a team to help with a BBQ for after the 11am service. If you'd be prepared to help please would you let me know. Thanks so much. Mark Melluish
Prophetic words or pictures for the church If you volunteer in any of the St Paul's ministries you will shortly be receiving an invitation to our annual Volunteers Celebration on Friday 17 June 8:30-10:30pm. Please put this in your diary. It will be a night not to be missed.
Following the week of prayer that we have just 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 so much for your support with this.

Kids work over the Summer - Can you help?!

You could either get involved with children aged 3-5 or 5-11 years olds. If you would be willing to get involved, one of the Allstars team will be at the back with a sign up sheet at the end of each service and would love to answer any questions you may have or sign you up! You can also contact Abi for more info, thanks so much in advance.
We are still collecting Toilet Roll Tubes! If you wouldn’t mind saving the cardboard inner tube of your toilet rolls, Abi Hedges is trying to collect 3,000 of them and would love it if you could pass them onto her. You can bring them to the Church office or to Church on a Sunday morning. Thanks in advance. Abi

KIDS Year 6 Graduation Party If you have a child in Year 6, we hope that you’ve received an invitation via email to our Year 6 Graduation Party that’s taking place on Sunday 10th July. We love to celebrate every child’s journey through Allstars and into the youth ministry and would love for every year 6 to be a part of this. If you haven’t received an invitation for this and you have a child in year 6 please do let Abi Hedges know on abi@stpaulsealing.com.
Celebrating Commitment During the Easter Sunday morning services we had a great time celebrating our risen Lord as a full church family with the children, young people and adults all together. During that service, Mark invited any children who would like to, to be really bold in expressing their faith and ‘yes’ to Jesus and to stick their hand up in the air as a sign of that commitment. We love to celebrate that decision being made and so Abi Hedges is currently handing out a small gift to all those children who let her know they raised their hand. If you know a child who did raise their hand please make sure they collect their gift and if you haven’t already let Abi know, it’s not too late too! Contact Abi Hedges.
