12.01.2022 On Tuesday mornings, the District Office staff 'meet’ over zoom for a morning devotion. Today, I enjoyed devotion outside on the balcony. Neil Kube (Office Manager, LCAQD) led the devotion this morning with a story written by late Pastor Rolph Mayer called ‘The Wallaby and the Caterpillar’. This was also read at his funeral service. I could only smile in awe at how a simple illustration can communicate such a powerful message not only for children, but for us all. Much like... Jesus' parables. - Tiffany This story and more can be found in this collection: https://books.google.com.au/books On another note, Tiffany is the Communications Officer for LCAQD, M&M.
