Back and somewhat refreshed :)

It was important for the two of us to get away for a week and a bit. Over this past year we've been learning to guard our time off and seek to creatively rest from the work of ministry. This hasn't been easy, but we're beginning to get the hang of it at last!

Getting away also helps. Mt Tambourine was a great couple of days away. We spent a good deal of out time with a great book, a fireplace, and a warm cup of tea. And we ended up going for a horse riding experience - which you'll have to ask us in person for more details!

Last Sunday we returned from the Hunter Valley in NSW. We hired a car and braved the pretty rough roads (with potholes the size of small dams) to enjoy some of the valley's finest wines and celebrate the wedding union of Steph's cousin. You can see some of the wedding photos here.

Now we're back to work and getting back into things. RICE is upon us very soon, so keep praying for that as the first event - the RICE Big Day Out - is happening this Saturday!

P.S - our newsletter is overdue, we know! So keep an eye out for that soon!
