\"\"<\/a>Parishioners from Nyah West and Ultima joined the Swan Hill branch of our Anglican family on Sunday to welcome our new Bishop of Bendigo, Matt Brain, accompanied by eldest son James.<\/p>\n

Bp Matt had an instant rapport with the people, as he sat down on the lowest step\u00a0 of the chancel to chat \u00a0to Honour, our little \u2018bearer of the lamp\u2019, who was quite speechless at this unexpected action.<\/p>\n

Although some people were absent due to the holiday weekend, there was still a large gathering at morning tea for people to mingle and get to know more of our new Shepherd, also to congratulate Jan and Frank Sharam for forty years of marriage, and Frank\u2019s birthday as well!<\/p>\n

Being \u201cMothering Sunday\u201d many wore a white flower and all enjoyed Moira\u2019s delicious Simnel Cake.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow there will be the monthly Boot Sale, BBQ and morning tea available. Ron\u2019s team will welcome all offers of extra hands to help, before, during and after the stalls close at midday.<\/p>\n

This Sunday our visiting priest will be Archdeacon Michael Hopkins from Mildura, who will celebrate the Eucharist and preach at the 9.30 am service. At 5.00 pm the Caf\u00e9 Church leaders will be hoping for some more families to come in for an enjoyable hour, concluding with a meal from 6.00 pm.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to our Nyah West branch Secretary, Leone Tress, who has been elected as new Diocesan President of Mothers\u2019 Union. Next Wednesday Mothers\u2019 Union members will gather in Bendigo to celebrate \u201cLady Day\u201d, which honours the wonderful acceptance of God\u2019s will by Mary, to be the young mother of Jesus.<\/p>\n

At the service at 10 am in Bendigo, Joan Mellahn will be presented with a scroll recognising her sixty years\u2019 \u00a0membership of Mothers\u2019 Union, including terms of office as President and Secretary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
