What a Fete!

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 18:05:00 +1100

What an excellent day - perfect weather, great stalls and activities, terrific support from right across the parish, generous support from the traders of the community who supported the Fete Flyers so well, and wonderful support from the community which we serve.

Thank you to all the volunteers who made it such a success – cooks, carters (of all manner of things), cleaners, and collaborators (John Sutherland the auctioneer, Joshua Tooth the muso, ‘Shorty’ courtesy of Maureen and Graeme Kurzman, and ‘Mr Castles’ who donated the use of his jumping castle).

Thank you one and all, it was a terrific day, and well worthwhile – the total after costs will probably be over $11,000. Well done everyone.

Check out the fun we all had here!

Fete - THIS Saturday!

"Parish Poo" Day

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:51:00 +1100

On Saturday 22nd October 11 Kilmore parishioners braved the wet and cold and headed out to Payne’s farm to shovel bag loads of sheep manure as a fundraiser for the upcoming Fete. Over 100 bags were filled with great camaraderie between the ‘shovellers’, the bag ‘holders’, the tie-ers, and the delivery men. This was followed by a great BBQ - thanks Douglas.

If anyone wants a bag of “parish poo” at the bargain price of $10 a bag (great for the garden), come along to the Parish Fete on Saturday November 12th.

More photos of our fun and productive day - here!

Friday Night Social

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 19:54:00 +1100

In the last six months in the parish has enjoyed the start of monthly “Friday Night Socials”. For no other purpose than to get together with fellow parishioners and friends, these social evenings have been a wonderful time of fellowship and fun. Last Friday about 20 of us got together for a great evening - photos here!

Keep watching the Pew Sheet for news of the next ‘Friday Night’. Everyone most welcome.

As part of the ongoing fundraising for the renovations at Christ Church, a great concert was held in the church with local Jazz Ensemble “Mercury”. Many thanks to those who came and supported this, and to the members of “Mercury” for their wonderful music.

Watch this space for details of further renovation fundraising ventures!

What a great day at St Matthew’s, Broadford celebrating their Patronal Festival. Visiting preacher for the day was Archdeacon John Davis who was delighted to make his first visit to St Matthew’s, and meet parishioners from all parts of the parish. Following the morning Eucharist, was a wonderful time of fellowship and feasting in Gavan Hall.

New Roof for Rectory

Mon, 05 Sep 2011 21:57:00 +1000

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.

Welcome Kasey Holyman

Sun, 07 Aug 2011 13:57:40 +1000

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.

Farewell David Flower

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 21:33:00 +1000

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.
