July 2023
I've had a long hiatus in updating the blog but after some prompting I thought I'd pop up a short video. Yakira and I took some short clips of some of us and we'll do that regularly from now on.
Every month our fellowship meets at Hebron to worship, to honour Shabbat, to enjoy each other's company and to maintain and develop the property. Those who can stay overnight so we can have more time to be together. It may seem an odd concept for regular church goers but it's entirely natural for us and something we look forward to.
Eating together, hanging out, working and worshipping together all develops relationships, hones personalities and gives the Ruach time to refine and encourage us.
This month was a delightful wintery, misty weekend. We are at the end of the Mount Lofty ranges so when the cloud sits low it's like being in your own private little world.
Brendan and Neal worked on fixing the house water tank and John was relegated to the tractor to hunt and destroy a rabbit warren, and move rocks so that Yakira and I can work on our rock garden.
We have big dreams for the property and it's slowly taking shape, but more importantly, through this property YHVH is working to mature us and develop our understanding of community and His kingdom. We look forward to the day when many from across the country will gather together here to celebrate Sukkot, when the truth of torah and the good news will be taught and the scattered ones will be encouraged and strengthened to return to their own places.
Great job with the video Yakira and Annette and everyone for working the land. :-) Fabulous weather that day. Lovely and cool. xo
