We were very privileged to have the Moderator of the NSW/ACT Synod, Niall Reid, visit Hillston for a week. Niall heads up the Uniting church in NSW but decided to make time in his busy schedule to visit some rural areas in Jan. He spent some time in Lake Cargelligo, Tullibigeal and Rankins Springs and then came on to Hillston. He was able to spend time with local members of the congregation and encourage them, as well as see some of the local sights. Paula, his wife was able to come out for the weekend and stay on for the Australia Day celebrations. I was delighted to see that both Niall and Paula had lots of opportunities to talk to locals at the brunch.
And of course we had to take Niall for a kayak on the Lachlan River, which is looking a bit sad at the moment with very little water, but still lots of birds and a wonderful sense of peace.
