Anglican

LAST Sunday Alan Box capably led us through how to use the defibrillator in our Swan Hill Hall foyer.

While we hope to never need to use it, this was a valuable life-saving lesson.

Various groups met during the week including Cursillo reflection group, Wednesday morning church, then the final of the reading of Mark’s gospel by David Suchet on DVD.

The monthly Ultima Holy Communion service resumes Friday night at 7.30pm. All are welcome to join in for the service and supper.

Parish council meets on Monday, Shrove Tuesday/pancake night is next, followed by Ash Wednesday, with services at 10am and 7.30pm.

Lenten studies will begin the following week. Details and booking in sheets are in the church foyer.
