As a result of generous donations, last Sunday’s concert in the church, the Hamlin Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia will receive just over $200.00. Thanks to all who made the day such a pleasurable one despite the heat, in fact when the whole company of musicians closed the program in ensemble playing “When the Saints go Marching in “ the audience of about 50 people was quite joyfully participating! Hopefully the numbers will double for the next event on the New Year.
Advent studies have commenced in preparation to greet the season of Christmas in the right spirit. There are three times each week the studies will be shared: Wednesdays after the 10.00 am Holy Communion service and at 3.30 pm at the Nyah West Op Shop, and Monday nights in the Foyer at 6.00 pm, BYO tea.
Last Tuesday three M.U. members attended the AGM and final meeting of the Swan Hill CWL for a lovely luncheon. Our MU managed a reincarnation by Swan Hill Diocesan members joining the younger ladies in the Nyah West branch. All these ladies do wonderful within our community and the wider world. Nyah West combined branch met for their Christmas break-up lunch at the RSL Club last Wednesday after their first Advent study. Anyone is welcome to share the journey within the groups.
This Sunday Rev Robyn Davis will be the celebrant at the 9.30 service, then on Wednesday 6th come along at 10.am and perhaps learn something new about Saint Nicholas, as it is his feast day.
Please add names to the list for a special meal Friday 8th at the Ultima Hotel, 6.00 – 6.30 pm, Carols and fellowship. All welcome.
