KAURI GLEN
Come into the Kauri Glen – make it your inner room for just a while
See the dappled sunlight on the barks of many trees standing in rank and file
Smell the damp, dank darkness, feel the shade that cools
The way where steps lead to a stream of quiet pools
Come sit a while. Don’t ponder what or why
Just see the straight tall masts reach endless to the sky
Come witness just how dwarfed the human life midst timeless giants like these
And give your praise to God who has made man and trees

Food Bank Report
If you think the food bank would like it, be rest assured you are correct! We have some extended families to help recently and such parcels are inclined to run the stocks low rather rapidly. In some instances we are out of stock completely, and these items have an asterisk beside them in the list which follows:
*Sugar *Tinned beans Biscuits
Tinned vegetables *Rice *Tinned Fish
All jams All tinned fruit *Instant coffee
*Vegemite *Honey Peanut Butter
*Clothes washing powder *Pasta
*Pasta sauce *Spaghetti Dishwashing liquid
*Drinking chocolate/Cocoa
Matthew Davies
p.s. The food bank was closed for three weeks, recently because they had run out of food.
