Old Bar Community News

Instead of providing a quilt, Angela Child of Old Bar has made large, sturdy laundry bags to be sent overseas which have a very practical application.

Angela has been a quilter for many years, making a range of quilts for herself, friends and for military serving overseas.

Our Lady Fatima Catholic Church at Old Bar has been in use since 1952.

For many years, the Anglican congregation have also been meeting there.

Now, the Old Bar Bible Church have moved their services from Old Bar Public School to Our Lady of Fatima.

The Old Bar Bible Church is an activity of the Wingham Presbyterian parish and meets at 4pm every Sunday.

This now has all denominations operating in Old Bar using the one building, a trend that is becoming increasingly common in many towns and villages around Australia, especially in country areas.

So now every Sunday there is the option of 7.30am Catholic Mass; 11am Anglican Holy Eucharist or 4pm Old Bar Bible Church.
