It’s What’s on the Inside that Counts
I love my “Ugg” Boots! Anyone who has seen them will probably wonder why they are worn and tatty. However they are my most comfortable footwear. My feet feel warm and “at home” in them. It’s what is inside that counts!
As we finish our journey in the book of Romans, we have before us, examples of great disciples of Jesus. They partnered with Paul and therefore with Jesus. They served out of their heartfelt devotion. As they grasped the blessings that came their way, they shared blessings with others.
We share the call to partner with Jesus, to join in Paul’s mission and to live lives of joyful obedience to God. There is no better way to live a life of meaning, purpose and celebration.

End Of Year Opportunities
Last week Shane reminded us of Jesus’ great answer to the Pharisees, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s”.
This week we are enclosing envelopes to assist you in making end of financial year, tax effective contributions to God’s work in Dapto. Donations to the SRE or Building funds are fully tax deductible.
Our SRE Fund supports schools scripture in Dapto. We teach 1,505 primary students each week and 1,400 high school students in seminars.
The building fund will allow us to continue in making our vision a reality. There will be a full report next week on the project progress.
For you to receive the tax deduction for this year’s tax return it needs to be received by the 29/6/2008 (next Sunday).
