News Update

Last Sunday saw the largest gathering yet this summer in our lounge for our Sunday morning international service. There were four with us from the locality, one of whom was a gentleman with us for the first time who still had personal questions about fairly basic biblical issues of faith. We also had a couple from Holland and guests from north-west Wales, Cheshire, Bedford and London. After a day of fellowship there were 20 of us for the evening meal and we really sensed the 'house' was fulfilling it's ministry of bringing encouragement and blessing to the full spectrum of ages. The picture shows some of the Welsh group, who were with us for the week, at the Todtnau waterfall.
Dave leaves us this week, after contributing in many helpful ways in the every day chores as also in longer-term organisational aspects of the work. We hope to welcome him back with his wife Rachel in the not too distant future for a further spell of voluntary help but in the meantime Patrick, who is Swiss and from the Freie Evangelische Gemeinde in Balsthal is taking his place. We are very pleased to have Patrick with us and he is already showing his worth as a valuable 'Mitarbeiter'.
