All go for Car Boot sales, Op Shop and Men’s Shed

After a disrupted year, some of the Church connections to the wider community are up and running.

The monthly Car Boot sale and market stalls will restart on Saturday FEBRUARY 20TH. The Op Shop has been gradually getting back to normal over the last three months and the Men’s Shed is also open again.

At the Car Boot Sale, Ron Murray and his team are looking forward to seeing you come and support our stall holders. All the usual stalls will be there except at this stage tea and scones will not be served on site.

Christmas in Church

Our Church services this Christmas are as follows:

Christ Church Swan Hill – 9:30 pm Dec 24th and 9:00 am Dec 25th

All Saints’ Nyah West – 7:30 pm Dec 24th – (outdoors, please bring a chair)

Social distancing rules apply and people need to have a mask with them as they are required by law for singing. Contact tracing requirements are in place.

Having used our parish hall as the primary place of worship during the pandemic we will be using the church for the two Christmas services at Swan Hill. Some services over January will revert to the hall – especially if it is hot.

Slowly returning and planning for Christmas

From the end of November we will be able to have more people in our gatherings but we will not be in a position to be fully open to public worship.  That may not be possible for the duration of the pandemic. The Anglican Church continues to comply with the Restricted Activity Directions from the DHHS. There are also infection control measures that impact the manner in which we conduct Holy Communion. Over coming weeks we will be using two different methods of modified Holy Communion for regular members.

ULTIMA – it was wonderful to worship with the folk at Ultima on Friday Nov 6th for an outdoor service. This was their first service since March.

CHRISTMAS SERVICES

We recognize that visitors and non regulars will want to attend at Christmas time. Details of how you may register to attend a Christmas service will be posted around 1st December.
