Adult Volleyball
at the LSCA gym
As soon as we finish enjoying the Holy Land Highlights this Sunday night, all adults are encouraged to head for the LSCA gym for another evening of fun and fellowship on the volleyball court.
Dear Chatham Christian Church,
In the last week we have experienced record cold temperatures for Paris. We had been enjoying a fairly mild winter and then all of a sudden we’ve had high temperatures in only the upper 20’s. It’s a very sad situation for the many people who live on the streets in Paris. Please pray for these men and women, that they would find some sort of temporary shelter to stay warm through this time. I hope you are staying warm wherever you may be.
Last Saturday we hosted thirteen Parisian ministry leaders, from six different churches in our home for an all-day training and networking event. It was a great time of getting to know one another and learning from each other. There are so many great God-things that are happening in this city. I am proud to stand alongside these men and women who are serving the Lord in Paris. We are so proud of a French/American couple in our home group who just started their own French-speaking home group in their neighborhood. Thank you for all the support you’ve given to building up the Kingdom in Paris.
We had a great night of worship at our all-Vintage gathering last month. With people being sick, we had some last minute changes but God showed up with wonderful blessings. We spent time meditating on John 8:1-11, the scripture where Jesus is with the woman caught in adultery. We spent time reflecting on that scripture from several different perspectives. It’s cool to see God not only growing our church in numbers but also in depth and maturity.
Our house is constantly full of people. I love it. We had a bunch of people over for a Super Bowl party. The great part is that some friends of friends came to the party. Our community is living missionally when they are reaching out and including others in what we do.
Both of our kids had sorties (field trips) with their class this month and Rachel got to go as a chaperone to both of them. She went with Will’s class to the musee d’architecture and both Bill and Rachel went with Natalie’s class to the aquarium de Paris. It was a great opportunity to get to know their teachers and classmates better.
Thank you so much for all that you do. We are so grateful for your support of our ministry in Paris!
Merci beaucoup!
Bill & Rachel
