This weekend we hosted the Musical Mission Team from Bob Jones University. It was a wonderful weekend. They arrived Friday afternoon just in time for a snack of crepes and then they walked over to the nearest tram station where they handed out invitations to the two church wide concerts. That evening we had a "family time" after a cookout. Saturday morning they were back here for two sessions with Bob and Michael Cole. Then we served them "Raclette"-- a first for almost all of them and a big hit. The concerts were both well attended. We had over 100 in our meeting room. We were especially excited that one of our neighbors came for the first time as well as several other first time visitors.
Once a month we have an
afternoon service in English. Most of the time those present (besides
the Americans!) have very limited English language skills so we try to
use "special English". That means nice and slow with a limited vocab.
This month we were happy to have another American missionary family join
us. Jonathan and Cherith Teachout have just moved to Bordeaux and are
helping out in the downtown church. Their family sang a special number
for us.
