Now we are into April, there is a feeling of the town settling down after all the Summer events that we and so many visitors have enjoyed.
We wish our vineyards good harvesting and we trust winemakers will rise to the challenges of this season and work their magic once again to produce their outstanding wine
Give thanks for hope, that like the wheat, the grain lying in darkness does its life retain in resurrection to grow green again, Hallelujah!

A hymn for ANZAC Day
For the healing of the nations, Lord, we pray with one accord
for a just and equal sharing of the things that earth affords.
Lead us forward into freedom – from despair your world release
So that redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness, fear may die and hope increase.
All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned:
Pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice may we hallow life’s brief span.
April 25 Anzac Service at Lake Ferry 10.30 am
