It was a delight to welcome the community into our Function Centre for the Collectables Fair last weekend.  The inclement weather meant we had a nice steady stream of people coming into the warm to see a magnificent display of creative memorabilia. Congratulations to Alan Crilly and his team who organised this event.

For all who missed the Anglican Art Show not featured this year, hopefully you will enjoy coming to the Anglican Function Centre this weekend for the Collectables Fair. Entrance will be by gold coin donation. Drew’s Jewellers will again be featured, and the warm Foyer Café will be serving refreshments from 10.00 am to 4.00pm on Saturday and Sunday in the very collectables atmosphere with colourful embroidered tablecloths.

The familiar “Maggie’s Cake & Produce stall “ is hoping for record sales in her memory, so all cooking, preserves craft and produce will be gratefully received to keep the supplies replenished.

Stalls include jewelry cleaning and repairs, clocks, bottle Openers, crockery and stamps.  Newton Williams will have his amazing wooden fretwork clocks.  Just click here for an example of his amazing work.

Pentecost at Nyah West was a beautiful celebration, with Roman telling us about his faith journey and how celebrating pentecost is very much a part of worship each week in the Phillipines.

The big celebrations in the Phillipines are All Souls and All Saints days.

Roman’s favourite verse in the bible is the calling of Andrew and Simon, Mark 1.17, “And Jesus said, “Come follow me and I will make you fish ofr people.”  His Seminary in the Phillipines was St Andrew’s. Jan’s chasuable reflects the theme as she was ordained on St Andrew’s day.

We blessed Girlie Anne and Jenny for their birthdays this week and Katherine as the youngest present cut the cake.

AN historic local homestead will be preserved for future generations after it was added to the Victorian Heritage Register earlier this month.
