Over the November 1st holiday weekend, we had our annual "Three Church Retreat" in the château near Tonneins. There were 90 people this year and there was an excellent spirit. The speaker was a retired French teacher. His messages on the book of James were very encouraging and convicting!
Bob did two workshops while there. The first one was a choir and the group sang for one of the services. The second one which he presented two times, was on "Simplifying your Spiritual Life." He based a lot of it on the book by that title by Donald Whitley. We had just finished reading it together.
This post is late since I have been battling a virus since coming back from the retreat, but we wanted to let you know that we were blessed by it again this year. We had 30 people go. One young Hungarian couple went who are non-believers. The young man comes from a Pastor's family and knows the Gospel clearly. Please pray for them.
Today we had the third and final performance of the Christmas Cantata "The Voyage of Christmas." It has been a long but fruitful "voyage" for us as we, along with others, have worked on translating, printing, practicing, getting costumes, etc.
Last Friday we had our annual Thanksgiving meal with friends and family. It is the first time in many years that we can add "and family!" What a wonderful day we spent as 23 people shared a delicious meal together (traditional turkey, of course!) and a time of singing and sharing the blessing of the last year. The Lord has been so good to us and we are grateful for His faithfulness year after year. We trust that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, too.
