\"\"<\/a>Six months of an intensive prayer request from the parish family of Swan Hill and District has been blessed with a letter from Bishop Matt in Bendigo, announcing his appointment of a new priest to be our \u2018Shepherd into the future.\u2019\u00a0 Matt writes:<\/p>\n

\u201c Dear Friends, I am very pleased to announce that the Rev\u2019d Peter Blundell has accepted my offer to become the Rector of the Parish of Swan Hill. Peter and his wife Jeanette will be moving into Swan Hill early in August and I look forward to inducting Peter into this ministry on Friday 10th<\/sup> August.\u201d<\/p>\n

The full text of the Bishop\u2019s letter will be printed in the pew bulletin this week.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday Caf\u00e9 Church presented a great fun exercise crafted around the concept of how our eyes can deceive us.\u00a0 In the first book of Samuel, 15: 34 \u2013 16:13<\/span>,\u00a0 we read that a son of Jesse had been chosen by the Lord to be the next King of Israel.\u00a0 The eldest looked the part, but was not the chosen. All seven sons of Jesse were brought before Samuel, and all were rejected.\u00a0 Finally the youngest was brought in from tending his father\u2019s sheep, and the Lord told Samuel to anoint this boy, David, as king.\u00a0 What is perceived as least likely to human eyes can always be recognised by God through the truth within the heart.<\/p>\n

On Sunday<\/span> night nine photos were passed around for everyone to examine \u00a0in turn.\u00a0 The hidden \u2018message\u2019 or image was not always apparent even after long scrutiny, and there were several surprise revelations.\u00a0 People who profess to be Christian need to take note of this, appearances can be deceptive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
