Although still awaiting the delivery of our new car were able to borrow our son Dan's 7-seater family Espace for the guest airport and train station pick-ups at the week end. Dan & Martina and 15 month-old John were leading a church group to Salzburg and we were looking after grandsons David and Benedict, while Sophia was with her aunt.
The house filled-up on Saturday with a total of 21 of us including David, Benedict and their friend Maximilian sleeping in a tent in the garden! With Tim & Deb & family in the UK, Phyl & Len were extremely grateful to have the help of various friends from Britain - some of you have been praying with us for the help we clearly needed and we are so thankful that God is meeting this need.
The emphasis this week is a children's Bible club week and our nephew David with his wife Liz and 2 young children are leading this very adequately. We have four other children together with their parents, the uncle of another child and an older teenager too. David and Christine organised the week for families connected with their weekly Children's Club and are also with us. It's proving an eventful week and we pray for lasting blessing.
The Sunday service was different and the emphasis was to explain as simply as possible how the Lord Jesus has removed the 'big curtain' of the Old Testament temple which separated the people from God because of His holiness and our sinfulness. Jesus returned to heaven after His death and resurrection (during this past week was 'ascension day') to sit with His Father on His throne as our Saviour and Friend and to hear our prayers. Hallelujah!
