News Update

Tom and Esther are an integral part of the team in Haus Barnabas and play an essential role in keeping the house young! Their involvement in the children's part of our Sunday worship and Bible ministry is also greatly appreciated. Tom doesn't yet lead any of the songs with the guitar, that's still his mother's gifted contribution to the worship but as the picture shows it doesn't look as though it will be long before he can play his part too. Phyl is also teaching him the key board and violin!
Esther started 'proper' school this week and here she is with her school bag and the traditional German 'Schultüte'. This is a similar idea to a Christmas stocking. In it the parents give the child on his/her first day of school presents of both things for school such as exercise books and coloured pencils etc and sweets and other little gifts.
September has been a quieter time for us as far as guests in the house is concerned, which is a pity as the weather was been for the most part sunny and warm and as we come towards the end of the month the leaves are beginning to turn to display their beautiful autumn mode of dress.
We have so much reason to join the angel in singing their song of Isaiah 6:2:

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!"
