ANGLICAN Bishop of Bendigo Matt Brain on Sunday re-dedicated St John’s Church Newbridge.
The church was flooded for the second time in 11 years when the swollen Loddon River spilled in the October flood emergency.
Parish priest Fr Darcy Vaughan said: “This month marks exactly a year since the floods that damaged St John’s Newbridge.
“So it is fitting that we welcomed our bishop to join us in a service re-dedicating this church to God’s glory and celebrating Holy Communion together,” he said.
The church’s piano and carpets were destroyed in the floods.
