Anglican

ADVENT season, the preparation for Christmas has begun. The church has been appropriately adorned, generous donations of money for food hampers have been received and Advent Reflections began this week.

Anglicare families will be most appreciative of the festive food hampers that have been tailor made for each family.

Advent Reflections are being held at 7.30pm Tuesday and 11am Wednesday, and Nyah District is to be confirmed. Please feel free to join in to one of the groups or you can take a booklet home to reflect on the readings and preparation for Christmas.

Men’s informal coffee gathering at One28 Doors on Thursday mornings is being enjoyed by a number of men and all are welcome … no need to be a church member.

Tabletop games afternoon is on again this Sunday from noon. This is intended as a free community activity. You can bring your own game or try one that is available. Some drinks and snacks are available at low prices.
