\"\"<\/a>Following long tradition, the Parish family celebrated \u201c Pancake Night\u201d on Shrove Tuesday to bring in the season of Lent.\u00a0 This is a reminder of the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness being tempted to change his mission on earth.\u00a0 Our thanks to Kylie Gardner and her students for the preparation and serving of our meal on Tuesday.\u00a0 About 60 people attended and friends circulated happily between courses.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday there were two services where the imposition of ashes from burnt palm crosses was used as a sign of preparing to follow Jesus example of self- denial until the celebration of his resurrection at Easter.\u00a0 The discipline of self denial\u00a0 doesn\u2019t necessarily mean giving up something, rather might it be a prompt \u00a0to \u2018go the extra mile\u2019 to do something to meet the need of others.<\/p>\n

We also pray for Rev. Matt Brain, who is to be inducted as the 10th<\/sup> Bishop of Bendigo this month.<\/p>\n

The Boot Sale is back tomorrow, sausage sizzle, tea and scones available, great fresh produce and plants on sale,\u00a0 and plenty of treasure hunting opportunities. 46 Splatt Street, Swan Hill.<\/p>\n

This Sunday there will be no service at Nyah West, but two in Swan Hill. The \u2018all age service\u2019 at 9.30am in the church, and Caf\u00e9 Church at 5.00 pm in the foyer.\u00a0 The planning group met last week and have drafted out the ten programs for this year.\u00a0 People are taking turns to organise the simple 6.00 pm meal, there will be music and a prayer to open,\u00a0 then a series of great activities for all ages under the enthusiastic leadership of the Baker family.\u00a0 For the families who enjoyed \u201cPancake Night\u201d, make the third Sunday of each month a regular family occasion at the Caf\u00e9 Church.\u00a0 For more information phone 5032 2506<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
