Today's Scripture
                     Mark 7:14-23
              Clean food, dirty hearts
14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear
  me, all of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing outside a
 person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that
            come out of a person are what defile him.”

 17 And when he had entered the house and left the people, his
 disciples asked him about the parable. 18 And he said to them,
 “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that
 whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19
  since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?”
                (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
20 And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.
 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts,
      sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting,
wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
    23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a
                               person.”

                         Accomodation wanted
Does anyone at church have a sleep out that they rent out? Someone from the
Baptist church in Dunedin knows of a Syrian man, who lives in Dunedin with
 his family, who is about to do a truck drivers course in Timaru and needs a
room to stay in for 6 months while he does the course. His family will stay in
 Dunedin. If you could help please contact him on 0224934794. His name is
                                    Johnny.

                       Church Directory update
We are in the process of updating and printing a new church directory. If you
would like your existing listing modified (eg. if your address has changed), or
you would be happy to have your details included in the new directory, could
you please email your details to the church office (office@wilsonstreet.org.nz)
                    or pass your details on some other way.
Details we would love are: Names (of all family members), address, preferred
  phone number/s, email address and, if possible, a small family photo (this
                          helps people recognise you).
   Just give us the details you are happy to have printed in the directory.
                                     Thanks
