Dear friends,\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Things are developing so much faster than we imagined.<\/p>\n

In accordance with the National Cabinet decision last night, we are pausing all church services and group activities<\/u> of the church, effective from midday today, Monday March 23rd<\/sup> and until further notice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Unfortunately under the latest legislation we cannot provide access to the church building for individual private prayer either. We encourage folk to find a quiet space in your local park, your garden or even inside your home, to pray and meditate on God\u2019s word.<\/p>\n

Lenten Study questions will be delivered each week (until Easter) to those who have been attending.<\/p>\n

If you have internet access, a Diocesan Church Service will be available form this Sunday, 29th March. Initially it will be available via a link from the Diocesan webpage (bendigoanglican.org.au) and on a video streaming site. (More details as they come)<\/p>\n

If you DON\u2019T have internet access, staff in Bendigo are working towards having these services burnt to DVD and distributed. This may take a week or two to implement but we are mindful of many people who will be more comfortable with a TV and DVD player in terms of technology.<\/p>\n

Bishop Matt has reminded us of Jesus words in Matthew chapter 6 about worry. Jesus asks us to consider the sparrows and Lilies and how God looks after them, he will look after us who are of much more value.<\/p>\n

Yours Sincerely,\u00a0Rev. Peter Blundell<\/p>\n
