We are here! We're at beautiful Nunyara, with the sun shining in clear blue skies, folk from all over the country gathered for a weekend of stories.
As we gathered, the stories began, catching up with each other from the last time we met, or for the first time.
Today we have worshipped together and heard some storytelling - stories of the paralised man lowered through the roof, the father with two sons told with drama bags then through the eyes of two ladies from the town, and the first installment of the story of Esther (more to come over the weekend).
And we've had our first workshop session - lectio divina, godly play, and crafting our stories - all of which have given us inspiration, new insights into our craft of storytelling.
Now, people are wandering the grounds of Nunyara, having a cuppa, making raffia baskets, scouring resources, having a rest, practising music for worship, settling into rooms, or blogging.
Thank you to our workshop leaders today, Gary, Judyth and Steve.
Thank you to Julia for leading our worship, and choosing lovely music.
Thank you to the kitchen for wonderful food.
This evening we spend a bit more time with the story of the paralysed man, and begin to think about how we reimagine the biblical stories to bring them to life in our time.
