Next Sunday: Par­ish Annu­al Gen­er­al Meet­ing (AGM)

The AGM will be held on Sunday 13th March 2020 (at 11.30am after the morn­ing ser­vice).  At this AGM, the Par­ish Coun­cil, War­dens and Nom­in­at­ors will be elec­ted.  There is no elec­tion of Syn­od Rep­res­ent­at­ives since a Syn­od lasts three years and the 52nd Syn­od has anoth­er year to run.

There is a form avail­able which gives notice of an inten­tion to make a nom­in­a­tion.  Parish­ion­ers who wish to nom­in­ate anoth­er per­son for an office may com­plete the form and give it to a Warden.  The form requires the per­son being nom­in­ated to sign it as an indic­a­tion of their con­sent to be nominated.

PLEASE NOTE: You must still be present at the meet­ing to nom­in­ate some­body else wheth­er or not a form has been com­pleted, but the per­son being nom­in­ated does not have to be present at the meet­ing so long as con­sent to the nom­in­a­tion has been given.

Blayney/Milthorpe Week­end Visit

We had a very enjoy­able time in Blayney last week­end where we atten­ded the Milthorpe church ser­vice to present the two Pas­cal candles donated by St Luke’s Enmore.  We also atten­ded a shared lunch which fol­lowed the ser­vice.  The people were very welcoming.

Tony Pur­cell (a Parish­ion­er now liv­ing in Cowra), also atten­ded the Milthorpe church ser­vice — on behalf of St Luke’s.

We met the new priest Fr Wally Cox and his fam­ily.  The church has expan­ded in in num­bers since our last vis­it and now has a children’s/youth min­istry that hap­pens weekly — which is expanding.

They all send their regards and thanks for the con­tin­ued sup­port from St Luke’s.  John Power also sends his regards.

Susan and Eddie Reddy
