Dear friends all over North America,
I thought you may like to see something a bit different . There is so much hatred etc going on, here is the outback far western part of the State of New South Wales.
My daughter Cathy & I were part of the volunteer team last month. Frontier Services is the ‘outback ‘ arm of my Church ,the Uniting Church in Australia. I am many years now a retired Minister of the Church ( as was Jim).
Thank you for the recent chat about Worship in Church , I found it so lovely to read !
Special thanks to Dianne, Sherwood, Wanda and Nancy !
The Church I now attend is bending the trend of most of the wider Church.
Lots of children, couples, gender diverse, gender identity young ones. It’s a joy to be there on Sunday, both morning and evening😊🌠
The Ministers are a team: Wife & Husband- it’s very heartening as now at 90, I’ve seen so much in the institutional Church !
I can walk just a 3 min walk too.
With my love to you all, from down here ,
Isobel
