September Network Gathering
Pages Cafe at Koorong was a hub of discussion as we had our Kids Vision Network gathering for the term. Thanks for all who came along for the morning as we covered some ground in looking at available resources, including a new magazine out of the U.S. called "K Mag'. Our morning gave the opportunity to browse and compare what some of us have used in our ministry's and are able to recommend as well as look at some new ones, with us dispersing throughout the store at the end of the morning after a good coffee.
Please be praying for one another as we work on the frontline in this vital area of children, in particular please be praying for Darrell (Rivervale), as he is currently facing some health challenges.
We look forward to seeing you next term at our final get together for the year.

Recent Network Meeting
The time spent was refreshing as we reflected on where everyone is in their ministry context and shared story and resource together. It was also beneficial as we were able to affirm anew the desire for a Kid’s Vision Network and the potential it has to assist us on the frontline of working with children in a ministry context.
By definition networking is, ‘a supportive system of sharing information and services among individuals and groups having a common interest.’ Kids’ Vision is our vehicle in Churches of Christ to bring those of us with a common interest in children together. It is our hope to build on that for the remainder of this year as we all collectively serve Christ together.
