Last Sunday Rev Robyn Davis was the celebrant, and challenged us again to enter into the spirit of Advent and do some practical preparation for the lead up to Christmas. Advent studies are on Wednesdays at 11.00 am after the Swan Hill 10.00 am service, then at 3.30 pm at Nyah West Op Shop, and Swan Hill on Mondays at 6.00 pm in the Foyer, BYO tea.
Last Wednesday there was a service of Prayer, Praise and Proclamation, and being December 6th Saint Nicholas was remembered as the Bishop of Myra, teacher, preacher and philanthropist in the 4th century. He was 150th of the great gathering of bishops at Nicea as they discussed and formatted our “Nicean Creed.” Many of our parish attended Bendigo last Saturday to farewell another wonderful Bishop.
Bishop Andrew Curnow has been the longest serving bishop in the Bendigo Diocese; he and his wife Jan will be greatly missed.
We pray for whomever will succeed him, while also praying for a new Rector for the Parish of Swan Hill.
