At St Paul's, we're running plenty of events for the whole community throughout March.
Ignite and Salt Open Night

Film Screening: Screenagers Growing up in the Digital Age
In the award-winning film Screenagers, Delaney Ruston probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction.
Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, Screenagers reveals how ‘tech time’ impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.
We’ll be showing Screenagers at St Paul’s Anglican church.
Date: Tuesday 5 March, 7:30pm
Place: St Paul’s Anglican church
Cost: $10 per person (plus $2 booking fee, 20 per cent discount for a family booking of 4 people – just use the discount code screen-fam20 when booking your tickets online)
Free Film: For the Love of God
Christian history is full of violence, corruption, and oppression. Would we be better off without Christianity? Does religion poison everything?
New documentary For the Love of God: How the church is better and worse than you ever imagined confronts the worst of what Christians have done, but also traces the origins of Western values like human rights, charity and non-violence back to the influence of Jesus.
We’re holding a free screening of this film, followed by a panel discussion.
Date: Thursday, 7 March, 7:30pm
Place: St Paul’s Anglican Church
Cost: Free
