Great news everyone! In response to a request at the 2017 AGM, the wardens and parish council have agreed to install solar panels on the St Stephens Halls roof. This has come out of the existing maintenance budget and the 15kW system will allow us to save on our electricity usage costs and do our bit in caring for the environment. Thanks be to God and also Matt Fenwick + solar panel Committee and also thanks to Green and Save Solar. http://www.greenandsave.com.au/

Some encouraging news for everyone! After the rains last night, it would appear that the roof fixes in the church building have been successful! Also, in other news, the "great untangling" of our sound system has been progressing well. Thanks be to God for all who have given generously of their time and resources for the upkeep of the St Phils church buildings and equipment

And He Created All Things

2017 marks the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther publishing his 95 theses. In effect what is known as the Reformation was begun by that brave act. And throughout the 16th Century there were different Reformers who lived and taught and preached and wrote calling the church back to the essentials of the gospel. Those have been summarized down to 5 simple phrases which when translated into English are Scripture alone, Faith Alone, Grace Alone, Christ Alone and God’s Glory Alone. In Latin, they are sola scriptura, sola fide, sola gratia, solus Christus and soli Deo gloria. On 7th May, we are starting our new preaching series, “The 5 Solas of the Reformation” – where each week will be looking at a different Sola. Our Connect Bible Study groups will be studying these at the same time via the series “Ideas the Changed the World”. Leaders and group members can purchase this resource at http://www.matthiasmedia.com.au/ideas-that-changed-the-world. Finally, we thought that the following infographic from the Good Book Company was helpful too http://www.thegoodbook.co.uk/downloads/5-solas-infographic.png
