Poowong North-last church service 1970
This rather poor copy was scanned from what appears to be the minister's original typed copy. Mrs Ailsa Attenborough had kept it and was at this final service as organist, 12th July 1970. The minister for the day was the Methodist minister Rev. Norman Higgitt? who lived in 'The Parsonage' 38 Nyora Road Poowong with his wife Lettie. This document along with all the Loch Poowong Uniting church parish achives are about to be sorted and sent to the Uniting Church archives in Melbourne where they will be housed appropriately and can be accessed by the public.
