Friends, I am delighted to be able to announce that Julia Pitman will be curating our worship spaces at our gathering at Nunyara in September.
Julia is a candidate for Ministry of the Word with the Uniting Church in South Australia, and before returning to study worked with the Charles Sturt University Centre for Public and Contextual Theology . Julia coordinates a group who gather for monthly Taize style worship - contemplation on the Word through silence and song. She is currently undertaking a student placement with St Andrews By the Sea Uniting Church at Glenelg.
With her passion for the biblical story and community singing, Julia is excited to participate in our gathering, to see an epic telling for the first time, and to lead our worship spaces through story and song. She was thrilled to hear that we love to sing, and have experienced group singing in parts with Faye White at a previous gathering.
We have a month to warm up our singing voices, ready to sing the Sacred Story, sing the Psalms, sing to the Spirit in whose love and creativity we gather!

come celebrate the Sacred Story!
Well, now I am really getting excited. It is closing in on a month until the gathering, and registrations are steadily flowing in. We've a number of new folk attending, as well as some seasoned participants in the gathering.
However, there is plenty of room for more of you, so have a look at the workshops, choose a portion for the epic, download the form, and send in your rego! This is our tenth gathering, and we're going to celebrate the community of storytellers, the Sacred Story we tell, and of course, the Sacred One revealed in the Story.
We would like to encourage South Australians, particularly those in and around Adelaide, to check out the workshops and to register for part of the gathering, if you are unable to attend for the whole weekend. This is a rare opportunity for South Australians to have the national gathering in our backyard, and there is much wisdom and experience in the gift of story and storytelling on offer.
