Outback

While some of our mob were actually in the outback (Jane and Athea in the Flinders and Mark and Leila up near Broome somewhere) the rest of us made do with pretending we were there. Beverley brought along some great photos to help our imaginations, and in some cases, memory. This was the third Sunday in the Seasons of Creation series that we are following for 6 weeks. We have been using material written by Jason John (Rev Dr) and are very much enjoying hearing his voice in the text of what we read and share. (We miss ya, Jason - Toni, Finn and Gabriel too)

God’s gift to us is the birth of the universe, which makes the planet, this land possible. All living things contribute their gifts and skills to make this planet habitable: bacteria make soil, plants make oxygen and food, animals eat the food and eventually return to the soil to feed the plants. In the light of God’s great gift of life, and the gifts of all living things, we offer ourselves: our time, passions, talents and money for the reconciliation and renewal of all creation. (Jason's words)
