Combined churches fun day

DELORAINE ‘FESTIVAL by the River’ was well attended by families from as far afield as Launceston and across the Meander Valley.

As well as activities for children including stilt-walking, jumping castle, King of the Castle and lots of other organised games, there were food stalls and live music.

The Festival, organised by the Deloraine Combined Christian Churches, was based on family fun and a celebration of the true meaning of Easter.

A somewhat sombre note was raised when John Phelps, Chairman of the Combined Churches Association, confirmed to the Meander Valley Gazette that the local Uniting Church will close its doors, due to a declining congregation.

The closing service will take place on Sunday, 7th May.
