Matt Brain, will visit the Parish of Swan Hill.<\/p>\n<p>He will preside at the Eucharist and preach, and It will be great to meet him so soon after his installation ( 17<sup>th<\/sup> February.) There will be one parish service at 9.30 am and hopefully the Bishop will see a vibrant congregation earnestly praying for a new Rector. Bp. Matt is a young father of five children, so it would be wonderful if he has a friend of similar status ( \u201c in the business as the Lord\u2019s Shepherd \u201c) whom he could encourage to be our new Rector!<\/p>\n<p>Ultima Eucharist 7.30 pm tonight at Wayne and Lois\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p>Music practice in the church at 11.15 am tomorrow after Morning Prayer \u00a0service. 10.30 am at Alcheringa. Anyone is welcome to come in and sing along or just sit and listen as the songs and hymns for Sunday are rehearsed.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth Sunday in Lent is traditionally observed as \u201cRefreshment Sunday\u201d, a mid- Lent break from austerity, also celebrated as \u201cMothering Sunday\u201d , when \u00a0Anglicans honour all mothers, and our Mother Church. Mothers often wear a white flower as a remembrance of their own mother.<\/p>\n<p>As for flowers in church on Sundays during Lent, count up the forty days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Day and realise that Sundays aren\u2019t included, as all Sundays are celebrations of Jesus\u2019 Resurrection, so flowers are fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last<a href=\"http:\/\/www.anglicanswanhill.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swan-Hill-World-Day-of-Prayer.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2387\" src=\"http:\/\/www.anglicanswanhill.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swan-Hill-World-Day-of-Prayer-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.anglicanswanhill.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swan-Hill-World-Day-of-Prayer-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.anglicanswanhill.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swan-Hill-World-Day-of-Prayer-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.anglicanswanhill.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swan-Hill-World-Day-of-Prayer-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/www.anglicanswanhill.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Swan-Hill-World-Day-of-Prayer.jpeg 820w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> Friday the World Day of Prayer service was well attended, much appreciated, and produced $470.00 towards the \u201cKids at Risk \u201c project.
