Out of the mouths of babes – our Crosslight front cover this month features one of the messages sent by year two and year four students from Scots School Albury to Synod 2017. Words and pictures of support and encouragement were posted on the walls of Box Hill Town Hall during the Synod meeting. In our editorial we share some more of those messages. Click here for our Synod wrap or go to synod.org.au/2017 for a full report.
