Welcome to our website. 

We are a three-centre parish situated in Northern Victoria, which enjoys a pleasant climate, although we have been experiencing difficult drought conditions over recent years.

The area is very flat to undulating - supporting diverse agriculture both dryland and irrigation,  however increased shortage of water supply is of great concern. 

The parish consists of two towns, Pyramid Hill and Boort,
and the country centres of Bears Lagoon and Calivil that combine to worship at St John's in Bears Lagoon.  With the distance between each centre being over 40kms our Rector spends considerable time in her car! 

An open and friendly group we are very ecumenically minded.

Services are mostly traditional but relaxed and flexible. 
We enjoy music, with Together in Song used in all centres.

 
Our parish belongs to the Diocese of Bendigo - the provincial city of Bendigo is within an hours drive.


 

OUR PARISH PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we pray earnestly for
strong Christian leadership in our world,
where traditional Christian values are upheld;
where friendship and a decent standard of living
take the place of poverty and war.

We pray that Australia will be able to ride out
the current economic downturn.
We pray for the continuing recovery of all those
affected by the Victorian holocaust of fire.
We long for a return to seasonable weather Lord,
with much needed rain, healthy crops and happy people.

We pray for Bishop Andrew and the Diocese of Bendigo.
We pray that the cathedral church of St Paul's Bendigo
will be restored.

We give thanks for our Priest, Rev'd Heather.
As our numbers fall away, we pray
for added strength in our Christian walk,
for the joy and gratitude of worship,
for our service to young people and the wider community.
In Jesus' name we pray.  AMEN
