Summer is
grinding to a halt and the “Rentrée” (pronounced “rawntray”, meaning the return
to school) begins this next week with elementary and secondary schools starting
classes. Attendance is picking up
again at church as folks return after summer travels. There were a number of visitors in church on Sunday
including a family with 3 children.
It was great to have 8 children in our Junior Church!
We had our
second English Encounter outreach Sunday afternoon. Although I was hoping for more present we were happy to have
9 present including a lady who had not been present for the first one, besides
several children who did not participate.
Everyone was encouraged to invite others to come next time and left with
new invitations.
Praise
for:
- the way God
is blessing the adult Bible study Sunday mornings as Jonathan teaches through
the attributes of God.
- the family
with 3 children that was in church Sunday and the return of two other children
that have not been coming. Praise
for attentiveness in Junior Church.
- our second
English Encounter last Sunday.
- a working
landline telephone as of last Thursday!
- the Lord
helping us as Adrianna and I met the local Inspector of education last week for
him to evaluate our last year of homeschooling. Other than needing a little help with French vocabulary and
fluency, he seemed pleased overall with the curriculum (BJU Press) and with
Adrianna’s level.
Pray
for:
- those
travelling and returning after summer vacation, and for attendance to continue
to be good. Pray that the family
and the other two children will return next Sunday.
- good
contacts this month concerning the English Encounter and that God will bless and
grow this effort for His glory.
- our
teammates, the Christys, as Sylvia and Jana return this week from the USA in
time for the Rentrée. Pray for Ed
as meetings continue until his scheduled return September 26.
- Mr. and
Mrs. C. and for the Lord to bless our time of helping and sharing with them.
- our 10-year
residency cards to be approved and granted soon.

So glad that you have a telephone and internet at the house now. We went through the same thing here except it didn't wait quite as long as you did. Will the kids be in French school this year? We pray for you daily. Love you.
