Story – August 16, 2020

15/08/2020 by Darren Wright

This week’s stories reflect the theme of blessing, unfortunately I don’t actually have these books so I’ve found other people reading the books for us.

As you read them together share with each other how you might be able to bless the world around you and how you might make note of and give thanks for the blessings you’ve received.

A story of blessings…

Boy on the Page by Peter Carnavas

You can hear the author read this wonderful story about the blessing of life and the blessing we can be, the video is on the Storybox Library website, you can have free access to the Storybox Library with your public library membership.

Read it and share with each other how you’d tell the story of your life, of the blessings you’ve experienced and how you’ve blessed others.

Peter’s also written a song of the story, here’s the wonderfully fun and whimsical song.

About GUC

We are a community on a journey. We’ve grown from a small faith community planted in Ngunnawal in the early years of Gungahlin’s development to a thriving intergenerational and multicultural community located near the Gungahlin town centre.

Gungahlin Uniting Church is an open and inclusive community.  You are welcome to join us and participate in the life of our community as we experience life, God and seek to follow the way of Christ.
