From Your Church Library: Pictures of Jesus in the stories He told by David B. Smith. “Even in today’s media crazed world, we appreciate a well-told sto-ry. Among the best-loved stories in Scripture are the parables of Jesus: the sheep and the goats, the lost coin, the wedding feast…. Using vivid illustra-

tions David B. Smith retells many of these narratives. With titles such as, ‘Buying a farm from Jed Clampett’, ‘Year-end report of the ten mutual funds’,

‘The girls who missed the wedding’, Smith unwraps Jesus’ simple sto-ries. Woven from the stuff of everyday life, Jesus’ parables become windows

into God’s heart and mind."

Christian Book Club: Our first meeting will be on Monday 19th of March at 7:30pm. It will be an opportunity to meet and greet the rest of the members and to reveal the first book selected for the group to read. The idea is to then

meet every 6 to 8 weeks to share each other’s reflections and then select another book for the next reading period. For more information and details

about the venue, please contact either Pam on 0420 890 207 or Anna on 0402 310 162
