Possibly a record turnout last Sunday at Nyah West, for the 5th Sunday service and shared lunch. Sadly we were informed of the sudden death of Jenny Mitchell, and pray for comfort for Jim and the family. Although many Swan Hill regulars were unable to attend, there were still thirty in the congregation at the Nyah West Senior Citizens’ Club-rooms. The singing from the “Max Bowers Songbook” was much enjoyed, also the sumptuous country style midday feast. After lunch Sylvia opened the Op Shop across the street for people to visit this great community asset and appreciate the wonderful work of the volunteer staff, who also serve cuppas in the Men’s Shed next door.
Rev’d Denis had clergy conference this week so the Wednesday service was conducted by two of our lay readers, who are happy to roster each month while we wait and pray for a full time Rector for the Parish of Swan Hill and its central Christ Church. Our parish family is well known in the Diocese of Bendigo for stepping up to help in all manner of tasks to keep our lovely place of worship open for all seeking the Way of Jesus.
Tonight at 7.30 pm Rev Denis will celebrate the Eucharist at the Pryor’s home in Ultima, all welcome.
Next Sunday Bishop Andrew will be our visiting priest, so there will be no Nyah West service. All welcome .

m the pew bulletin: Adam’s tombstone, “ At least my wife could not complain that I never listened to her.” Eve’s reads : “ I married what used to be the perfect man.” Still blaming each other !
