This is an open invitation to all families to come to the 5.00 pm. family service at the Anglican Church Splatt Street on Christmas Eve to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child. To get involved in the celebration all are encouraged to dress up as angels, shepherds and sheep, wise men ( or a shining star !)
The team from Café Church held a rehearsal last Sunday at 5.00 pm and all hope it will be a great turn out this Sunday. There will be only one service on Christmas Day, the Eucharist at the usual Sunday service time of 9.30 am in Swan Hill.
A great round of applause was directed to Ron and the Boot Sale team last Sunday, for a marvellous end of year result in funds raised for the church and its mission. For Christmas there was a line-up of nine lucky door prizes for customers, and again the scones “ sold like hot cakes! Please consider rostering for this next year, it runs on the third Saturday of each month.
Advent Bible studies finished last Wednesday, and mid week services will be in recess for the holidays. Next Sunday, December 31st, is a fifth Sunday in the month, so there will again be just one service for the whole parish. This will be at 11.00 am in Swan Hill followed by a bring and share lunch. Visitors very welcome on New Year’s Day to share some time with the parish family at the Anglican Church.
