Family Library--Check it Out!

For years the Pastor's Office has housed church reference books and selected doctrinal reading books--but the volumes are a little dusty because of lack of use. But no more! 

Some of our kids have noticed that our sister church in Kapaa has a library which includes missionary and adventure stories and character-building children's books. "Why can't we have a library like that?" they've asked.

This last week Kahili Adventist School, since they don't have room to take all their books to their new location, allowed us to select some books for the Lawai Valley Church Library. Some may be a little ragged on the edges and yellowed--but when you've been around 50 or 60 years --that's to be expected! Yes, some of the books may be old, but they contain classic, Seventh-day Adventist stories that will never get "old."

Here's just a sample of what you'll find! Some great missionary and adventure books, like:

These Fords Still Run, about Orley and Lillian Ford, early missionaries to Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, Cosa Rica and El Salvador.

Brothers of the Longhouse, about boys living in an Indian Village.

You'll love reading all the books in Charles Mills series called Shadow Creek Ranch. We've got a few, including Mystery in the Attic and Cry at Midnight!

And we've got a few  of Jerry Thomas's Detective Zack stories. Kids love them!

Most of you know Victor Czerkasij, who used to teach at Kahili. He co-authored a book about being how being a young Adventist is not for the faint of heart. It's called The Ride of Your Life. Check it out!

And talk about BEDTIME and BIBLE and NATURE STORIES...we've got them! Do you remember "Uncle Arthur" and Eric B. Hare. These are timeless stories--and they are all available in our library!

Immediately after church, we'll have the Pastor's Study library open. Right now, we're using the honor system. Try not to keep a book more than a month. And parents, jot down the names of the books your children take, and make sure they bring them back before taking any more. THANKS! 

And THANKS to Kahili Adventist School for making this library possible for us.
