The date for the 2011 Parish Fete has been set for SATURDAY 12TH NOVEMBER, so keep this date free!  We are planning on all the usual stalls - Cakes, Produce, Plants and Books, plus extra activities for the children including Cup Cake Decorating, Jumping Castle and Pony Rides.

For those who want a more relaxing time, there will be sumptuous Morning Teas and BBQ. To end the Fete we will be holding an auction - watch this space to find out what bargains we will be auctioning.  For more information ring Bob on 5782 1831.

After struggling through a wet winter of leaking ceilings in the Rectory with cracked and damaged roof tiles, Parish Council decided that the Rectory needed a new roof. In just one day, the old tiles were removed and a new roof replaced.  What a transformation.

Now we just need some spring showers to prove that the Rectory is at last leak-free!  To see the days progress, check out what a great job was done.

After being introduced to the parish in June, it was lovely to welcome Kasey Holyman back on Sunday 7th August, as she starts her time with us.  Please pray for Kasey as she studies and seeks discernment in her ministry and calling.

Pictured is Kasey (centre) with Fr Trevor and the serving team at Christ Church.

After several farewells within the district, it was time for the people of Christ Church to farewell David Flower.

David has been wonderful in helping many people in the community re-establish their gardens after the Black Saturday Fires.  David is now going to concentrate on building his new home in Tenterfield and establishing his own new garden. It is certainly hoped that we will see him back from time to time.

On Sunday July 31st parishioners at St Stephen’s Tallarook, held the Patronal Festival of their church.  Parishioners from the wider parish in Broadford and Kilmore joined in the celebration Eucharist which was followed by a sumptuous lunch in the church.

On Sunday 10th July, parishioners got together to give thanks for Fr Trevor’s first anniversary in the Parish and also helped him celebrate his 60th birthday.

…..He is Risen Indeed!

May the glory and the promise of this joyous time of year, bring peace and happiness to you and your family and all those you love.  May Christ our Risen Saviour be always there by your side.

Blessings to all from our parish family.

Our traditional Palm Sunday celebrations at Christ Church started off in Church House with the opening prayers and the blessing of the palms, before processing through the church grounds into Christ Church where the Eucharist continued with the Ministry of the Word, and the reading of the Passion Gospel.  A great and wonderful way to begin Holy Week.
