Friday 8 November 2024 5:45 PM - 7:30 PM at Barossa Library, 43-51 Tanunda Road, Nuriootpa South Australia 5355. Light supper with tea/coffee provided.

Join us for an evening with local author Andy Thurlow as we celebrate the recent launch of his new novel 'Painting Martha', the story of an adoptee and her search for her biological family. And hear about his other books – ‘Kieran Modra: The Way I See It’ and ‘A Singular and Outrageous Blessing: The Story of Rolph and Margaret Mayer’ - how they came to be. Hear firsthand how Andy's ideas evolved from initial inspiration to fully formed stories, as well as the personal experiences that have shaped his writing.

The evening will feature a mix of engaging discussions, insightful readings (by Marley) from his latest work, and a Q&A session where the audience can interact directly with Andy. Whether you’re a longtime reader or new to his books, this event promises to be a delightful exploration of the art of storytelling.

Movie Night "Luther"

Movie Title “Luther”. 3rd November 2024, 7pm at Holy Trinity Church Hall Nuriootpa

$5 entrance fee includes Popcorn / Drink

In 16th century Germany, Martin Luther abandons his law studies to become an Augustinian priest and theologian, under the mentorship of Fr Johann Von Staupitz.

He becomes disillusioned by the established practice of Catholic hierarchy selling so-called sacred relics indulgences - promise of God’s forgiveness and time off their purgatory - for cash to the poor.

He nails his 95-point thesis to the cathedral door in Wittenberg, which is seen as a heretical act and challenge to Rome’s Papal authority.

When he refuses to recant, he is excommunicated, and Germany explodes in religious violence. ! Looking forward to seeing you there!
