Stations of the Cross at Old Bar
A very well supported Stations of the Cross was held in the grounds of Our Lady of Fatima Church, Old Bar last Friday in beautiful sunshine.
The readings for the 14 stations were shared among all denominations.
Purple poppies ‘imported’
A Singleton woman who read about our purple poppy project has sent 20 crocheted poppies to the Old Bar CTC.
Mrs Sheryl Merrick has a daughter, Corrina Merrick, who resides at Krambach, and Corrina sends copies of our local newspapers to her.
Mrs Merrick had made 100 crocheted poppies for the 2015 red poppy project in Singleton.
When she saw the story about our purple poppy project, she thought, "Why not? I can do a few more."
It's not too late to add a few more to our collection but you will have to hurry.
Why not make one for yourself also and wear it this Ancac Day to honour those animal ‘diggers’. You can wear the purple poppy alongside the red poppy.
Don’t forget, patterns are available from Old Bar CTC (opposite Vinnies), Old Bar Road, Old Bar.
The patterns are the same as used for the 2015 Old Bar Poppy Project .
Completed poppies can be dropped in at the CTC.
