Star of stage and screen 😊

Like most churches across the world in countries where novel coronavirus is pandemic, Kirwan Uniting Church has taken baby steps in video-casting a service. Our first video is too large to post as a blog, but here is its URL. I’ll post a link as new services are recorded. Make yourself comfortable!

Except there’s only Leisa and the dog to see it. No pics, this is a family pew sheet. Ah, the dog.

Cardwell of the scrumptiousest crab roll known to personkind. Cardwell of a room directly facing Hinchinbrook Island (and Goold Island, which you’ll see in a sec). I love the place. I read in three days what might have taken three weeks or more of interrupted Real Life®. I spent lovely time with my colleagues, drawn from many different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Especially, I enjoyed exploring and discussing living in community, following one of the historic monastic rules of life (Carmelite, in the case of Rev Craig Mischewski who is offering an intentional community in Weipa). And dabbled in proselytising for the Carpentaria Presbytery Pipe-smokers’ Guild. Now, Goold Island. My room looked straight across to it. The much larger Hinchinbrook Island is to its right. The rising sun almost bisects t
