It was great to have our recently retired Bishop Andrew and his wife Jan back at Christ Church last Sunday. This was Andrew’s first call out on the list of ‘clergy supply’ to churches without a Rector since his three months leave. His closing prayer on Sunday was that a permanent priest would respond to the call to come to the Parish of Swan Hill. His message was the timeless “ Love one another as I have loved you.” Meanwhile we are blessed to have Rev Denis’s faithful ministry to all the areas of our parish.
Coming events: As usual there will be a Boot and Cottage Crafts Sale on May 19th kicking off the busy weekend. Cuppa and scones plus the BBQ always worth stopping in for. All welcome.
Café Church on the third Sunday, May 20th, will be a different experience this month.
Families will travel to Lake Boga to visit a dairy to see the routine of daily milking time, then share a BBQ tea at the Lake.
Details will be in Sunday’s pew bulletin, so make sure to pick up a copy this weekend.
On the same day there is to be a Charity Concert in the church from 2.00 to 3.30pm with afternoon tea. The date was chosen to accommodate music teachers and students who will be participating.
The program will feature an eclectic mix of guest items, playing piano, organ, guitar and brass instruments, plus the ukulele group. Admission by donation to the Hamlin Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia, and now including Uganda.
Also on the third Sunday the Nyah West Op Shop will be open between 2.30 and 4.30 pm.
Having three choices at once may pose a problem, but each will have its own area of appeal.
Blessings to all Mothers this weekend.
