Rev. Tim Jensen | Saltbush Scattered Community Minister As we continue to journey through the era of Covid, our collective lives as a society must be yearning for renewal. With the hope that we do not return to businessas-usual pre-covid but to a place where we are more aware of our impact on the environment, that we share this creation with so many other species, that we are more mindful of the needs of others and that we are able to appreciate what it means to be members of a global village. Like so many in our world Saltbush has been limited by the lockdowns, we have focused on our on-line relationships and activities. We have had many encouraging meetings with leaders from different Synods alongside conversations with Uniting Theological Collage and the Vital Leadership team as well as many others. Saltbush worship continues on a Wednesday evening at 7:30. It is a special time of gathering and sharing our Christian journey together. We have been busy with keeping content on our webpage up to date as well as having regular meetings with the Far North Coast Regional partnership. As well as our cafés and gatherings all made available through the wonders of technology. Yet despite the uncertainty of lockdowns Mark was able to find a window of opportunity to organise and lead Rev. Phill Matthews closure of ministry service in Moree. Phill’s ministry in the Barwon Patrol was deeply appreciated by those for whom Phill served. We hope for both he and Lyn all the very best as they enjoy the freedoms of retirement as they journey around the country.
