The Sisterhood 

...would like to wish the clergy, Parish council, choir and parishioners a very joyous Easter. Thank you for your help and ongoing support.

Thanks to: 

• the 40 people who came and cleaned the church before Easter;
• all the rostered teams plus volunteers (especially Jill and Tania) who provided buffets during April.

If you wish to join in the making of piroshki at some time during the year, contact Luba Cowall on 0411 090 550.

Church murals project:

Since Tonia Ganin’s visit to Melbourne at the end of March she has re-drawn all the designs according to her own exact measurements, mixed all the paints for the entire project from colour-matches of existing murals and has prepared working drawings of the western wall for transfer to canvas. Actual painting on canvas will begin very soon.
