God continues His work in Reims. While one of our acquaint- ances gave his reason why he wasn’t interested in coming to church, other people have come. There was a good number out Sunday for the morning service, including for Sunday school where both classes had a visitor. The fellowship dinner had very good participation, and I think people went away with full hearts (and stomachs!). 
On Thursday, we were once again reminded of our dependence on our Father for His protection when in a brief instant, Josiah’s lengthening reach had a hot cup of tea falling on top of him. He was burned pretty badly but we are amazed at the Lord’s protection of him and thankful for the calmness He gave us to respond quickly with cold water and aloe gel. Praise God for all the healing that has already taken place. Praise for:
- visitors in church yesterday and for returning students and families after summer vacation.
- good attendance in Sunday School Sunday, and for two visitors.
- the good group that participated in Sunday’s fellowship dinner.
- God’s protection and healing of Josiah after his accident Thursday.
- a good meeting with the Church leaders on Saturday evening.
Pray for:
- the starting up of fall ministries, and continued preparations.
- Jonathan as he prepares messages for Sunday and Tuesday.
- continued healing for Josiah’s burns, and for protection of our children at home, at school and at play.
- good participation in preparing for an evangelistic outreach on October 17 with the showing of the film “Jesus”.
- Cherith as she and a few others prepare for a special Ladies Meeting/Tea scheduled for October 23.
- guidance regarding our future ministry.
