Church notes

Anglican

FRIDAY night there will be a Holy Communion service at Ultima Public Hall at 7.30pm.

On Sunday, please put your name on the list if you require a name tag or a new name tag. These will be ordered soon.

On Monday, Parish Council will meet at 7.30pm. Please pray for these the councillors as they plan for and lead our parish. Please also pray for a new rector for our parish.

On Wednesday, the Mothers’ Union group will hold their AGM, followed by Christmas dinner. This group supports organisations that improve the lives of others, men, women and children. As part of the church, MU will be supportive of the International 16 Days of Activism against Violence.

The Nyah West Op Shop will be closed for a week from Friday and reopen on November 18 at 9am.

Check the parish website for times.

The donation bin is closed. The smaller number of volunteers and the great amount of donations have made it difficult to keep sorted and organised. While closed, the volunteers will have working bees to catch up with the backlog of work.
