From the Canavans: Dear friends at Eltham Presbyterian Church, It was great to see you all when we visited recently. Thank you for your warm welcome and words of encouragement. Thank you also for your August support which we appreciated very much. Alan is well into the preparation for the checking of Scripture which he will do in PNG at the end of the month. He will spend the five weeks that he is away at Alotau which means it will be easy for us to keep in touch. Thank you for your partnership with us. Faye and Alan.
