Emmaus

It was on the road to Emmaus that two of the disciples encountered the Risen Lord.
It was at supper, once evening had come,
that they knew the Lord Jesus in the breaking of the bread.

Come all, come sinners, come forgiven:
this is the table, not of the Church, but of the Lord.
All are welcome at his supper.

Come

PANDEMIC PROTOCOL UPDATE: Short Term
Face to Face worship suspended.
After considerable prayer and reflection, and taking counsel from the elders of the Parish, I have decided to suspend face to face worship for the coming week, effective this Saturday through to the following Sunday, July 5th inclusive.
The online Morning Prayer for Sunday will be available from Saturday night, 5 pm, and virtual Morning Prayer on Wednesday at 10 am. The links for each of the services are listed below.
This has not been an easy decision.
Looking at the numerical increase, the raised replication coefficient, and
the proximity of the lower Macedon Shire to three known hotspots, due consideration for the overall welfare – physical and spiritual –was taken into consideration.
Even though we have been able to recommence with smaller services, the current situation of community based outbreaks is a worrying development, although, not surprising.
In Thursday’s pandemic briefing, Professor Sutton stated very clearly “...if there is not a strong reason to congregate, don’t. Please stay home.” This is slightly stronger than the restrictions put in place on Saturday June 20th.
The decision to offer face to face services is vested in the Vicar, in consultation with the Parish Wardens. A lot of prayerful reflection, medical and social cohesion advice has been received, and we are quietly confident that it is in the best interest of the wider community that this coming weekend, and the following, we are prudent in safety and isolation.
I would like to extend to our COVID-19 safety officers – Graham Dickinson, Janice Murphy, Lorna Howard, Greg Campbell, Winston Deason and Mary Duggan my thanks for their ongoing diligence in keeping our worship spaces safe.
