NOTICES:

TODAY:  Par­ish Coun­cil will meet after Morn­ing tea.

 

A very big thank you to the Chiew Fam­ily for provid­ing and serving our scrump­tious BBQ morn­ing tea on East­er Day.

 

Many thanks to all those who gave gen­er­ously to cov­er the cost of the beau­ti­ful flowers in the church on East­er Day.

 

Thank you also to those who came to assist in the East­er pre­par­a­tions.  To Andy who always makes everything just hap­pen so won­der­fully and to Fabi­an for his assist­ance to him.  To those who helped with vacu­um clean­ing, dust­ing, glass clean­ing and the car­park — thank you, your help was invaluable!

 

INDIGENOUS HISTORY COMMITTEE:  As you will recall there was a motion passed at the Par­ish AGM on 5^th March that a com­mit­tee be formed of inter­ested parish­ion­ers to “identi­fy and recog­nise the indi­gen­ous his­tory of this area.”  Parish­ion­ers inter­ested in join­ing this com­mit­tee should give their names to Tony Brown­low.  Please don’t feel daun­ted if you have a lack of know­ledge in this area.  It is a jour­ney of learn­ing that we will be going on togeth­er.  This par­ish is full of people with a mul­ti­tude and a vari­ety of tal­ents which can be used in this committee.
