How many of you have more than one Bible, or at least more than one Bible in the house? We are very fortunate to have our own Bibles or, at least, access to one in your house. Imagine what it would be like if you were not able to read about all the great stories and messages from God and Jesus..

There are many people in our world that do not have access to a Bible and there are heaps of children missing out on being able to read God’s Word. This is what it is like for many people living in the poorer villages of China.

Today we learnt about China, a country of 1.25 billion people. We also learnt about the Bible Society’s GET THE WORD OUT – CHINA project.

For the next couple of months we will be raising money to help pay for paper for Bibles in China. Don’t forget to fill the ‘Hong Bao’ (red envelopes), that you took home today, with donations from family and friends. You can even give some of your own pocket money, as Angie suggested!

Remember, the Hong Bao are due back the first week of term 4 (Sunday, 12^th October).

PRAY for Emily G, who had an accident while dancing, and is in hospital.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Our Bible verse to learn and remember:
Timothy 3: 16.  All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults and giving instruction for right living.

BOOKS OF THE BIBLE CHALLENGE:
This week’s challenge: Genesis – Revelation

              You have the holidays to learn them!!
