On February 26 and 27 we have a wonderful opportunity to focus to overseas mission and the work of The Church Missionary Society (CMS) with its Canberra Mission Focus. CMS are involved in training and sending Christian missionaries around the world - people like Rob and Arabelle Horne and their family who are serving in Leipzig, Germany, and who our church supports.

The Canberra Mission Focus conference brings together the CMS family from many different places to pray together, to hear from God’s word, and to be inspired by recently returned CMS missionaries. Come along this year as we delve into the Scriptures through engaging and in-depth Bible talks, learn about the joys and challenges of the mission field, and enjoy great Christian fellowship.

John Piper is an American pastor who has written and published a number of books and articles that help to explain and illuminate biblical truth. Some of these works he has made available as free downloads from his website:

One of the books that I have recently downloaded is called 50 Reasons Why Jesus Came To Die, and I plan to read and discuss this with my small group soon. There is even a leader's guide for group study!
