\"\"<\/a>The parish family enjoyed a great weekend of special events.<\/p>\n

Following a successful Boot Sale, parishioners on the Sunday entered into the spirit of the Pioneer Settlement wearing an assortment of old time clothing to attend the service of Morning Prayer in the beautiful little Church.<\/p>\n

At 5.00 pm at Caf\u00e9 Church, the Baker family carried out a splendid re-creation of \u201cFamily Feud\u201d which tested most of the participants. Hilarity ensued when \u00a0teams were asked to name the most popular Christmas Carols (\u201c according to a survey\u201d!) and \u00a0our organist, who has played for most of the Christmas services for decades suffered a \u2018senior moment\u2019 and went blank!<\/p>\n

Next Saturday (2nd<\/sup> December) many parishioners will travel to Bendigo for the service of the Bishop laying up his staff. Our prayers and best wishes go with Andrew and Jan in their retirement.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday at the morning service the Mothers\u2019 Union participated in the Wave of Prayer worldwide. This week we pray for Iraq, and the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East.\u00a0 Mothers\u2019 Union there supports relief work in Erbil,\u00a0and the Anglican presence at St George\u2019s, Bagdad, is thriving.<\/p>\n

This Sunday at 2.00 pm there will be a concert in the Anglican Church, admission by donation includes afternoon tea. Proceeds are for the Hamlin Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia, an annual gift from our Mothers\u2019 Union and our audiences. The program will feature a Jazz Band brought together by Reg Packer, also combining with the Swan Hill Ukulele Group during the afternoon.\u00a0 Bonnie Kelly from the cast of \u201cOklahoma\u201d will present one of the songs from the forthcoming show.\u00a0 Several \u00a0holders of music scholarships administered by the Anglican Parish will be performing, also\u00a0 Geoff Edmunds who plays the very impressive Wagner tuba. Please bring friends to encourage the young musicians, while supporting a humanitarian cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
