Name badges help make St Paul’s an

inclusive community. If you need a new

name badge, fill in the form inside the

pew sheet, send it to the parish office,

and one will be made and left in church

for you.

Toilets are available at the entrance to

the parish hall, which is located behind

the church.

First aid kits are located on the wall of

the kitchen in the Large Hall behind

the church and in the choir vestry.

Ask a member of the clergy or anyone

who’s wearing a name badge. We’re

here to help.

As you take your place in your pew,

please make yourself aware of the route

to the nearest emergency exit. Should

there be a fire, leave quickly, turn right,

and assemble by the roundabout on

Burwood Road.

People needing wheelchair access can

enter St Paul’s most conveniently by the

door at the base of the belltower.

Please turn your mobile phone off or on

to silent before the service starts. It’ll

save you much embarrassment later on.

Children are welcome in church at any

service. There is a selection of

children’s books and toys at the back of

the church near the font and there are

also kids’ activity sheets and pencils

available at the back of the church

where the pew sheets and prayer books

are.

Children’s Church runs during Term

Time. Meet at the back of the church at

the beginning of the 9.30am Eucharist.

Please feel free to bring your children to

the altar rail to receive a blessing, or to

receive Communion if they have been

admitted to the sacrament.

Please do not take photos

inside the church or during the services

of worship without permission.

We were thrilled when the winner of the "Conservation Interiors"

category was announced as ST Pauls Burwood.

Pam Brock spoke eloquently in acceptance of the award, giving thanks

to architects, those who gained the grant application, and to all parish-

ioners who not only dealt with the inconveniences of the project by will-

ingly and optimistically embracing the large hall as our temporary

place of worship., but also donated monies to bring the restoration pro-

ject to fruition.

The judges unanimously described our project as one of "sheer joy."

This award is considered prestigious. It recognizes the value of the work

done to restore our beautiful church to Blacket's original vision. It stands

as a beacon of heritage in the inner west, and creates an aesthetic that

enhances worship.

The National Trust

Heritage Awards

took place at a

luncheon on

Friday 28th April

at Doltone House,

Pyrmont. Jane

Carrick and myself

attended this

wonderful event.

This was the 23rd

re-vitalisation, architectural re-invigoration, documentaries,

regeneration of the environment and hard working advocacy

campaigners. Wendy Harmer, comedian, actor, TV and radio

personality was the Master of Ceremonies and the awards presented

by Anthony Leon CEO of Environment and Heritage.

St Paul’s entered the category for ‘the restoration and conservation of

interiors and objects, and may include historic product promotion, and

historic industrial processes. Movable objects are also included in this

category’. Jacqui Goddard, the Chair of the National Trust Awards

Judging Panel said that ‘this year’s entries were of an extremely high

calibre’. These awards are the pinnacle celebration for the heritage

communities.

St Paul’s won the category for conservation interiors for the wonderful

restoration of the interior of the church, carried out in 2016. The interior

of Saumarez House in Armidale was Highly Commended in the same

category.

The award will be hung in the south transept of the church.

Yesterday was a wonderful day with

much joy and laughter as people

browsed through the multitude of

books on sale, and sifted through the

preloved clothes to find that wonderful

gem that was just the thing to finish off

that special outfit. As to be expected,

in keeping with the high standard that

has been set in previous years the

devonshire teas were beautiful, not for

the wasteline, but definitely for the

senses.

Events like these can only be

successful with the generous donation

of peoples' time. To everyone who

helped beforehand, on the day and in

cleaning up a sincere thank you for

your time and effort. And of course all

those items that people donated are

the essential items of the day. But such a day could not happen without

coordination and much work behind the scenes and so we thank Pam

Brock for all she has done to make this day the success it has been. You

are a gem Pam, thank you.

Tickets are now available for the Mother's Day Raffle. $2 each or 3 for

$5.

It will be drawn on the Sunday after Mother's Day 21st May.

The flowers in the church

today are in loving memory of

who passed away on

2, May 2014

Lovingly remembered by her

family and friends

Rest eternal grant unto her, O Lord,

and let light perpetual shine upon

her!

If you have any used stamps then please bring them to Church with you

and leave them in the box at the back of the Church as these earn mon-

ey for the work of the Anglican Board of Mission – Australia.

Please note that we are no longer collecting reading glasses.

The Study Group has now commenced. The second study will be held

on Tuesday evening 9th of May in the Rectory at 7.30pm

This will be a short 4 week study where you can ask everything you

want to know about aging, caring for aged relatives, dying, funerals and

grief.

Week 2: The Funeral Director – Mark from Unity Funerals will address

such issues as, what is the actual role of the funeral director. What ques-

tions will they ask you? How will the deceased be treated, do they want

a burial or cremation? What are the differences in cost? What to do if the

deceased left no instructions? How soon will I have to pay?

Funeral plans – are they a good idea or am I being ripped off?

Week 3: Death, Palliative Care, Fear of death, sudden and unexpected

death, expected death, accidents and suicide, children and pets. When

is an autopsy required? What about organ donation? Where is God in all

of this?

Week 4: Grief

Is there any right or wrong way to grieve? What if I can’t cry, what if I

can’t stop crying? Have I lost my faith? Will life every get back to

normal. Moving On

Last week we were presented with

22 new kneelers.

Jeanette Keir and Wayne

Greenwood and their family have

spent many hours developing new

designs, crafting and making up

22 new kneelers for the church to

add to those they have already

made. Please spend a few

moments to look at these new

designs, they are really beautiful.

Not only have Wayne and Jeanette

made all these kneelers, they have

donated all the materials as well.

This also marks the beginning of a new undertaking. The three long

kneelers in front of the altar rail have become very grubby and are

starting to show signs of wear. They are such beautifully crafted kneelers

that they deserve to be conserved. We are hoping to apply for a grant to

enable this to happen. When our altar kneelers are away these kneelers

that Jeanette has designed will take their place. When our original ones

come back, these kneelers will take their place in the pews.

This is a very generous gift from the Greenwood family.

Thank you.

Our warmest best wishes to Mrs Margaret Hayes who has celebrated a

birthday at this time. We wish her many happy returns and every

blessing and much happiness – in particular we wish her very good and

much improved health in the coming year – keep smiling and happy

days!!

Above all, trust in the slow work of God.

We are quite naturally impatient in everything

to reach the end without delay.

We should like to skip the intermediate stages.

We are impatient of being on the way

to something unknown, something new.

Yet it is the law of all progress that is made

by passing through some stages of instability

and that may take a very long time.

And so I think it is with you.

Your ideas mature gradually. Let them grow.

Let them shape themselves without undue haste.

Do not try to force them on

as though you could be today what time

-- that is to say, grace --

and circumstances

-- acting on your own good will --

will make you tomorrow.

Only God could say what this new Spirit

gradually forming in you will be.

Give our Lord the benefit of believing

that his hand is leading you,

and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself

in suspense and incomplete.

Above all, trust in the slow work of God,

our loving vine-dresser. Amen.

We believe in being good stewards of what God has given us. We also

believe in being cheerful and giving with those resources. God wants us

to be faithful, no matter how little or much we have. The New Testament

teaches over and over about being faithful with what you have been

given. The New Testament gives us eight principles on generous giving:

1. Generous giving is sacrificial.

2. Generous giving is something that only some people are spiritually

gifted for, others must be taught stewardship.

3. Generous giving is a gospel issue.

4. Generous giving encourages churches to share with other churches

and ministries in need.

5. Generous giving is motivated by friendly competition (Paul

challenges the Corinthian church to match the impoverished

Macedonian church).

6. Generous giving is about sowing and reaping.

7. Generous giving is one of the many evidences that someone is truly

a Christian.

8. Generous giving promotes the worship of Jesus as God.

It cannot be overstated that when we give to God, we are not deciding

how much of our wealth to give; rather, we are determining how much of

God’s wealth to keep for our own uses. In 1 Chronicles 29:14 David

articulates precisely this fact, saying, "But who am I, and what is my

people, that we should be able to make this freewill-offering? For all

things come from you, and of your own have we given to you."

God's people today are not required to tithe. But, like everything else in

the New Covenant, our grace giving is to exceed Old Testament

requirements of the law. Therefore, for God's people, 10 percent should

be a floor, not a ceiling, and a place to begin, not a place to end.

At St. Paul's we seek to be obedient to God and to give generously to

further God's work, to play our part in participating with God in the

extension of God's kingdom of justice, peace, and love. This generosity

is evident in the Offertory and the collection of Alms (the Collection).

We take bread and wine (Offertory), bless bread and wine

(Consecration), break bread (Fraction), and give bread and wine

(Communion).

The Offertory refers to the offering we make to God on the Altar. Having

heard the Word of God we are moved to respond by offering ourselves to

God. On Sunday, two visible actions take place. There is a collection

of alms (money) and bread and wine are placed on the Altar. The second

of these is the essential part of the Offertory. The bread and wine are the

people's gifts. Those who bring the elements of bread and wine, the

Offertory, represent the people in presenting the elements to the

celebrant.

We offer back to the Creator that which God has given to us (wheat and

grape) modified by human effort (making the wheat into bread and the

grape into wine). Through the tokens of bread and wine, the people (the

creation) offer themselves back to God (the Creator). The collection of

alms is an appropriate complement. These are taken up during the

singing of the Offertory Hymn and they are used to purchase the bread

and wine and to extend God's kingdom of justice, peace, and love.

Over the years the parish has benefitted from the generosity of

parishioners, not only when they have been active members of the

parish, but also at the time of their death. Parishioners are invited to

remember the parish in their wills by making a bequest as a thank

offering to God and to ensure that generations to come will enjoy

worship and fellowship in well maintained buildings.

Those wishing to make a bequest are invited to do so using these or a

similar form of words: "I bequeath the sum of $............ to the Rector and

absolute discretion for the charitable purposes of the parish."

In Romans 6: 26-27 we read:

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how

to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep

for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of

the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the

will of God. (NRSV)

Please take time to pray, either before, during, or after the Service to

allow the Spirit to intercede for the saints according to the will of God.

If you pray for someone, you might like to send them a card. These

beautiful cards are on the table in front of the Icon of St. Paul in the

South Transept, where you might light a candle for those for whom you

have prayed, and we are grateful to the Parishioner who has designed

and made them for us.

The bonds that unite family and friends are not forged for a little while.

They are for eternity.

They stretch across every boundary of space and time,

They twine and intertwine from one generation to another.

Weave and interweave priceless beyond measure.

They are something to be cherished to be fought for …

to be kept intact at all cost.

PEOPLE: with their fears and their foibles and their dreams.

PEOPLE: with their struggles toward faith, with the pain and the

expectation of this pilgrimage.

PEOPLE: with personalities that live on and on, growing; learning,

loving; lending helping hands to others.

PEOPLE: that is what life is all about.

Acts 2.42-47; Psalm 23;

1 Peter 2.1-10; John 10.1-10.

Jesus tells us that sheep follow the shepherd’s

voice, and the shepherd knows all the sheep

by name. Whose voice do we follow – is it

Christ’s, or does the voice belong to someone

else? Are we deceiving ourselves that we are

following the great Shepherd of the sheep when, in fact, we are following

a voice that will lead us away from the God of grace?

Pray for those who have answered God’s call faithfully, living out

their lives vocationally and sacrificially.

Give thanks for the work and witness of the Church of North India.

Anointing of the Sick is available at any of our

Services. In James 5: 14-15 we read:

14 Are any among you sick? They should call

for the elders of the church and have them pray

over them, anointing them with oil in the name

of the Lord 15 The prayer of faith will save the

sick, and the Lord will raise them up; and any-

one who has committed sins will be forgiven.

(NRSV)

If you would like to be anointed and to be

prayed for then please ask one of the Priests

in the Parish so that you can be anointed during any of our Services.

of you; for the honour of your name.

Amen. (Author unknown)
