Church Notes

Anglican

THIS week has been a busy week.

A great boot sale last Saturday was followed by a refreshing Holy Communion service on Sunday.

Rev Wayne conducted a worship service at Logan Lodge on Tuesday which was appreciated by faithful residents and staff there.

After the Wednesday Communion service, we held a Biggest Morning Tea in support of the many people we know affected by cancer.

A feast of homemade food was enjoyed by many and we thank the cooks. It was a lovely time of fellowship with a wide group of supporters.

The op shop at Nyah West held a meeting and working bee on Thursday, then on Friday and Saturday clergy and two reps from each parish attended Synod (AGM for the Bendigo Diocese) in Bendigo.

On Sunday, we celebrate Pentecost remembering the giving of the Holy Spirit to the Church.

When the Spirit came, it was a new beginning, so much so that Pentecost has been called the “birthday of the church”.

We receive the Holy Spirit when we accept that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Saviour of our lives and the Holy Spirit empowers us to live Christian lives.

Come and join us.
