Mainly music resumes at 10am on Monday, April 22.

All of us on the team are so looking forward to catching up with everybody.

This is a wonderful music interactive program for little ones with parents/grandparents/carers, followed by morning tea and playtime. It is $5 per family.

This Sunday, come along, invite a friend and join our service at 10am.

We invite you to stay for fellowship with a drink and something to eat.

Grain Shed kids, you still have another week before your program starts, however there are activity packs waiting to be picked up.

The craft women meet Thursday, 10am to 12pm.

Swan Hill Anglican Church

What meaningful services were held for the Easter week.

The many who attended departed on Easter Sunday with renewed joy in our Lord.

Last Saturday, a well-planned working bee was held and most of the listed tasks were completed. Some still to do are on the list in the porch.

Thank you to all the volunteers who keep our property in good order.

This Saturday is the monthly Boot Sale with all the usual treasures and options, including scones and the barbecue. Near the Boot Sale behind Anglicare, volunteers will be staining the deck ready for the winter weather. Thank you again volunteers.

On Sunday, there will be the 9.30am service in Swan Hill followed by the 11am service at Nyah West. All are welcome.
