We had a wonderful commissioning service with lots of parishioners and visitors in attendance. We had a lovely supper and fellowship afterward. Rev Amanda had to then get into the Easter Services once she arrived. They were all lovely and we now can relax a little. We hope Rev Amanda enjoys her time with us all. The Op Shop at Dungog continues to keep a lot of us busy. We thank all those who work at it and donate us some wonderful goods so that we can sell to all, or come for a look and purchase. It is held each Friday 8 am to 2 pm and the first Saturday of each month when the Markets are on. The markets are going well with some new stall holders and many of the existing ones coming still. We have some very hard working volunteers who man the BBQ each Saturday the Markets are on. Thanks to all. Cuppa ‘n Chat continues each Friday in the hall at 51 Dowling St, all welcome for a cuppa and chat with others. We have our Friday service at 10.30 am and our Sunday service at 8.30 am each week.

We had a wonderful Harvest Festival at St. John’s raising $1,051 to help support our Mission Projects overseas in Myanmar to provide clean water for villages, and locally, the Nungalinya College in the Northern Territory which is a College where indigenous people are trained for ministry. Thank you so much to all who donated goods for sale, and for those who were so generous in spending. Thanks also to our auctioneer, Alan and his team of helpers. We have welcomed the Reverend Amanda Brockwell as our parish Priest at a Commissioning Service in Dungog with all the pomp and ceremony of those occasions. After a very busy time, she now deserves a well-earned rest. Our Easter services were well attended with people coming together to remember and give thanks for the great sacrifice that Jesus made for us on Good Friday, and of course, the wonderful resurrection on Easter Morning where we celebrate our risen, living Lord. The central panel of our lovely stained glass window has now been restored and re-installed. Our grateful thanks to Lee Howes and her son Zac for an amazing job done. We had a lovely rededication service at our Harvest Festival and there were some members of the Robards family in attendance. The window is in memory of Stephen Thwaites and Mary Ann Robards. Lovely to have it back in place. Our Green Superintendent (lawn moving man) has had to retire due to health issues and we thank him for his care of our lawns at St. John’s. We now welcome Alwyn who is doing a wonderful job in keeping the lawns neat and tidy and the looking loved. Thank you Alwyn. Our Holy Communion services are at 10.30am each Sunday morning, and you would be most welcome. Sue Flannery Clarence Town Op Shop & Treasure Centre Fashion, Finds and a Heartfelt Thank You!
