Church services are being held today to remember the victims of last weekend's Victorian bushfires.

The services come as the fire threat eases across the state.

The Governor-General, Quentin Bryce, will attend church services with Kinglake and Whittlesea residents, north of Melbourne.

Survivors at Wandong, north of Melbourne, will be visited by the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd.

Mr Rudd's will firstly attend a briefing by local fire chiefs, to get an update on a series of blazes still burning across Victoria.

He will then head to the Wandong Relief Centre, where he will hear from those left homeless and displaced by the fires.

The Prime Minister will also take part in a church service to remember those who did not survive.

The service will take place on the back of a truck parked on the Wandong football ground, where burnt trees and black hills are clearly visible in the distance.

Mr Rudd will later visit nearby Kinglake, which was all but obliterated by the fires.

Melbourne services

In Melbourne, hundreds of churchgoers will gather at Fitzroy Gardens after services this morning.

Congregations from 17 churches across Melbourne will walk from their services to the gardens to remember the bushfire victims.

The Governor, Dr David de Kretser, will attend, along with Lord Mayor Robert Doyle and the Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, the Right Reverend Denis Hart.

Organiser Father Tom Knowles says he expects a large turnout.

"The response to the individual services that have been held around the place has been very strong, so I would expect that most churches will be well attended," he said.

Father Knowles says the service is an opportunity to mourn the dead and the survivors in a more public way.

"[It is] an opportunity for us to get together as a combined Christian community from all around the city to demonstrate our solidarity with and prayer for those that have suffered so much in the recent fires and are still suffering," he said.
