News Update

After motoring across a snow covered France, we, Len & Phyl, are now in Britain combining a series of engagements with churches and personal visits with some time to relax a bit.
'Frauentreff' in Haus Barnabas
Before leaving Utzenfeld we enjoyed the visit of the ladies of Utzenfeld for one of their monthly get-togethers, and also a visit from our nephew and his family from Australia.

  We've had a number of interesting engagements since being here in UK. Our London 'reunion' at Stanmore Chapel has now been an annual event in Stanmore for nearly 20 years - where do the years go? Some of the friends in the pictures below have used the occasion to keep in contact with us for most if not all of this period.






 
Colin Leyshon, Pastor of Stanmore Chapel and father of our daughter-in-law Ruth, gave us an encouraging epilogue after our time of sharing about the work and enjoying holiday pictures taken by our guests over the season. Colin reminded us of Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana and looked at the role the servants played in this. Under the title of 'the significance of the insignifant' we were all encouraged to be aware that although insignicant in ourselves being used by God in his purpose makes us significant.

A little later in February we are heading northwest into Wales and our Welsh reunion is scheduled to be held in the school room at Capel Fron, Penrhyndeudraeth, near Porthmadog on Saturday 9th March. The chapel is near the top of the hill on the Beddgelert Road out of Penrhyndeudraeth and parking is on the roadside just beyond the Chapel over the brow of the hill. We aim to begin at 3.00pm and there will be refreshments following the meeting. Do try and come if you live within travelling distance!

We aim to be back in Utzenfeld in good time for our Easter Conference when Tom Lori is guest speaker. Our new website is up and running and although not fully complete gives details of our Easter Conference and other special events planned through the year in Haus Barnabas.
