As we travel to Wangaratta on Trinity Sunday to be with our friends from Holy Trinity Cathedral and Holy Trinity Whitfield, we will be open for quiet prayer during the light of the day.

The 10.00am service includes Wodonga Brass Band, a reception of Ms Lauren Lee into the Anglican Church, followed by a sumptuous morning High Tea.
All are welcome to attend.

Message from Rev Mel.
A reminder that next week there will be no services in the parish as the Bishop has invited us to join the Cathedral for our combined patronal festival celebrations. Next week is Trinity Sunday and so all churched under the patronage of Holy Trinity (such as Benalla and the Cathedral) have special observances. Please do offer a lift to those who don't like driving too far, if you are able.
The service begins at Wangaratta Cathedral at 10am.

Thank you. 🙏

“We’re deeply thankful for our volunteers—their support makes it possible to open each week and offer a well-organised, ever-changing selection of treasures.”
“Do you need to be part of the church to volunteer? No—most of our volunteers are community members who simply enjoy helping others.”

A huge, big thank you to community volunteers!!!

Come join us and have some fun with the Friday and Saturday teams.
You can help in the shop or help with the sorting of donations.
If this interests you, please chat to the lady behind the counter.

A big thank you to the community groups we collaborate with, we know that you’re driven by the same love of community too.
