Come to the Church in the wildwood.
Come to the Church in the dale
No spot is so dear to my childhood,
As the little brown Church in the vale.
As you can see, is not exactly brown. It is more an off white colour, but it does have brown trimmings. It is the old Church of Saint Barnabas in Yarramalong where several times a month visitors come on coach tours from afar to see, and to sit and enjoy the lovely ambience of this old 1885 church.
It no longer belongs to any particular established Church, but is owned by Wyong Shire Council and managed by a committee of locals.
Because of its old world charm, and the natural beauty of its surroundings, St Barnabas has also become a fashionable place for weddings, and of course for its popular monthly ecumenical Christian services held at 10am each third Sunday. By ecumenical, is meant the bringing together for worship as many religious persuasions as possible by means of visiting ministers of different backgrounds. |
