Church Notes

Anglican

THIS past week has been a joy to share worship services with parishioners in Swan Hill, both on Wednesday and Sunday, Ultima on Friday evening and Nyah West on Sunday.

Our monthly boot sale was also held last weekend and, despite the cold, was well supported and enjoyed.

Thank you to all who attend, as well as those who enable it to occur.

Mothers’ Union met on Wednesday after the service and enjoyed Christmas in July, a bright activity in this cold season.

Reminder that on July 30 at 11am, church will be at Lake Charm in the public hall. We will join with Kerang, whom Rev Wayne has been providing ministry to while being our locum.

Rev Wayne will be here for that service and the following weeks.

Lunch will be a bring and share meal.

Transport is available if needed, so please add your name to the list in the foyer if you are attending or would like a ride.
