With fewer guests and the much appreciated practical help of Emily in the house, who is with us for about another ten weeks, Len has been able to spend a few hours on two days helping our son Dan construct new cupboards and book shelves in the manse the family are moving into for their new pastoral responsibilities. After ten years of ministry with the Swiss Reformed Church in Muhen, Canton Aagau, Dan and Martina were unanimously accepted by the Church in Riehen-Dorf, Basel as a husband and wife partnership to fill the vacancy of their retiring pastor. The picture shows the church with the large manse on the right. The whole family are excited about the move but it will of course involve a change of school for the three older children, Sophia, David and Benedict. The Riehen Church has a long-standing evangelical tradition and the manse itself has a claim to fame being the childhood home of Leonhard Euler an important Swiss Mathematician, born 17o7.www.gap-system.org/~history/Biographies/Euler.html. Tim has this week been in England to celebrate his father's 80th birthday but since his return has also spent a day assisting in the move. We wish Dan & Martina much blessing in their ministry in Riehen, Basel.
