The Season of ADVENT

advent_allw.jpg  

The center candle is white and is called the Christ Candle.  It is traditionally lighted on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. However, since many Protestant churches do not have services on those days, many light it on the Sunday preceding Christmas, with all five candles continuing to be lighted in services through Epiphany (Jan 6). The central location of the Christ Candle reminds us that the incarnation is the heart of the season, giving light to the world.

Dustyboots

Lockhart 2011

Here are some photos of the successful BCA Dusty Boots programme held
in Lockhart November 28th - December 2nd.

8 Broughton College students, their chaplain, a teacher and the local
youth worker spent 3 days cleaning up the church grounds, leading the
end of year assembly at Lockhart Central School and running after
school Kid's Club. I was thrilled to have the fly screens put up at
the rectory!


The week ended with a BBQ enjoyed by the team and parishioners alike.
The time of fellowship was encouraging. The boys and their leaders
expressed the desire to return next year and had already begun to make
plans about what they could do next time.

Anglican Women of Australia ( Riverina)

 
These conferences will be held in Wentworth from 7th to 9th May, 2012
 
Accommodation for two nights with breakfasts and dinners included as well as a tourist bus trip on Tuesday around the area including a picnic lunch at an all inclusive cost of $230.00. The conference will be interspersed with outings by bus, Picnics, fine dining and Worship.
 
A $50 deposit needs to be paid to the Diocesan Registry, PO Box 10, Narrandera by the end of January with the balance due mid April.
 
This is a great opportunity for the women of the diocese to get together and continue the triennial conference started by Betty Clark some 10 years ago when we went to Broken Hill. It is hoped that car pooling from neighbouring parishes can be arranged to get to and from Wentworth.
 
Further details can be obtained from Judith Nolan (02) 6953 3170
