Koreans try an Aussie BBQ



Julie:

Due to the large amounts of horticulture and vegetable growing in the Hillston area a significant number of back packers come to town for casual work. Many of these are young people are from Korea and with their cultural background often turn up at church on Sunday morning. A group of Korean backpackers have been in Hillston for nearly two months now and have been coming to church regularly so the congregation has had a chance to get to know them a bit. This had included meals and a BBQ where the visitors were most interested in what we cooked as it was so different to the BBQs they know. To help make the visitors feel more welcome the Hillston congregation now uses Korean and English in their liturgies.
