WWW.THESENTINELNEWS.COM.AU Clarence Town Presbyterian Church 29 Marshall Street, Clarence Town (Opposite the School). Pastor: Rev Allan D. Welch Service Times: 10am Gathered Worship every Sunday. From the pulpit we have completed our seven week thematic series titled - “Life after Death.” Coming up next we look at one of the most influential books of the New Testament – Romans; the book that was the written force behind some of the most significant conversions in history like Augustine, Martin Luther, John Wesley and John Bunyan. Morning tea is provided each week after church. Next Lord’s Supper and fellowship lunch will be on Sunday 3rd August. Mainly Music (every Wed), SRE (Scripture) at Clarence Town Public School (every Wednesday) and Growth Group Bible Study (Tuesday and now Monday evenings) are all back in the swing. “And what does the LORD require of you? To do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8 In Christ, Rev Allan D. Welch 0402 387 690 Christ Church, Dungog Dowling Street, Dungog Service Times: Every Friday 10.30am, Sunday 8.30am Sunday night service: 4th Sunday of every month at 5pm We are busy as usual. For our last 2 markets we have not been able to use our grounds as they were too wet. We have used the two halls and had 11 or 12 stalls in them. It is working well but would love to have the outside also. Time will tell when we can use the outside! The Op Shop has been opened on our market days as usual but no BBQ which we miss. Mother’s Union will have their musical afternoon on Thursday 14th August at 2 pm in Christ Church hall at 51 Dowling St. The High School students come to entertain us and it is always a lovely afternoon. Door charge is only $10 which includes afternoon tea. All welcome. We farewell our Priest Rev Kimbalee on Sunday 27th July at a 10 am Combined service with a Bring and Share Lunch afterward. We have been so lucky to have had her for 3 and half years. We would have liked it longer! She will be commissioned to her new Parish of Singleton on Tuesday 26th August at 6 pm. We shall take a bus load of us over to hand her over to Singleton, with many tears!! The last Sunday Nite with Rev Kimbalee at Christ Church will be on Sunday 22nd June beginning at 5 pm with a Bring and Share meal to follow. We are hoping that on the 6th July it will be dry enough to have St Peter’s in the paddock at 5 pm at Bendolba. Due to the wet conditions there has not been a service there for a few months. Services for Dungog are Friday 10.30 am, Sunday 8.30 am. Cuppa and Chat is on each Friday in Christ Church Hall from 9.30 to 11am where all are welcome. Blessings Margaret Flannery St. Patrick’s Catholic Church 41 Rifle St, Clarence Town Pastor: Rev Andrew Doohan Service Times: Every Sunday 8am Well, the rains have finally abated and next we will be praying because we will be dry. This beautiful country of ours never ceases to amaze me. Our parish of St. Francis of Assisi is taking a pilgrimage. So on the weekend before we officially become a new parish, we are coming together and visiting each of the four churches, Dungog, Clarence Town, Summer Hill and concluding at St. Helen’s on Gresford. The object is to pray together for the future of our new parish. We will conclude the journey with a gathering for lunch. So save the date, Saturday, June 28. Our church is still rejoicing in the election of our new Pope Leo XIV. May God bless him. We remember, in our prayers, the communities that have been ravaged by flood recently and hope that they get the support and help they need to get back to some kind of normality. May God continue to bless our church and congregation and all the people of Clarence Town.

Dungog Mother’s Union thanks the Dungog High School teacher Mrs. Louise Knight and her students for coming to entertain us on Thursday 10th August.
