The actual day was \u2018Pentecost Sunday\u2019 so the church, clergy and many parishioners were in red which added to the atmosphere. Bishop Matt Brain, Ven Peter Blundell, Rev Denis Gell, Rev. Robin \"\"<\/a>Davies and Rev Rae King took part in the service with Peter\u2019s wife Jeanette providing the music with her Guitar and voice. Several Mother\u2019s Union members were also in attendance.<\/p>\n

Prior to this event a small committee was formed with the Ven Peter Blundell, Bruce and Merle Thompson, Noleen Bates and Margaret Finnemore to arrange same. The church and surrounds were given a face lift.<\/p>\n

The original church was oiled on the outside and a ramp has been added in recent years and all painted inside and out.<\/p>\n

Having a list of former Clergy and with names of several of the early families from the area, we were able to make contact and were delighted to have many of each in attendance with a few apologies. Aunty Rev Robin Davis, a local Wadi Wadi elder gave the Welcome to Country<\/p>\n

After the service the Fire Station nearby was the venue for the luncheon with Soup, Hot savouries and delicious sweets organised by our catering member Helen Gell and others. The cake was cut by Mother\u2019s Union member Mowenna Hobson who would have been one of the first when Mothers Union was first formed at Nyah West and was delighted to have two of her sons present also.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Leonie Tress who arranged all the photos brought in by previous congregation members which were all on stands for all to view. Some members of Clergy and others reminisced of times of yesteryear at the luncheon which ended a delightful day.<\/p>\n
