Work Day!

June 13 was "Penecost Monday"-- a holiday here in France. The church was in desperate need of some deep cleaning so we called a last minute work day. We were thrilled with the outcome. 25 people showed up -- from age 1 to 84! Every one worked hard and we got a lot of jobs done. We ended the day with a cookout on our veranda and enjoyed the christian fellowship. It was a great day!

Cherry Picking!

Last Saturday, David and Esther Licois invited the whole church out to their home about one hour from the church. We were thrilled that 36 people went out for the day. It was a wonderful time. They had prepared a delicious meal for everyone, we played a group game, had a time of singing and sharing the Word and we picked cherries--over 110 pounds of cherries! I believe they have the biggest cherry tree that I have ever seen in their yard. It was a wonderful day of fellowship and we all came home with some delicious fruit. Cherry pie, anyone?

88th Birthday Party For Doris Gilbert

Sunday afternoon we had a reception for Doris Gilbert. She turned 88 last week and since she was visiting us here, we decided it was a good time to have some of her "kids" as she calls them and other friends drop in to see her. Doris has been a missionary with BMM for over 60 years. She served in Martinique, Central African Republic, Chad and finally in France. Through her efforts the first work with University students was started over 30 years ago. Lala and Ando, our key couple, were both saved under her ministry. There were over 60 people who were here for the afternoon.
