It’s time to share with you some of the highlights from the past few months in pictures. We were delighted to be together again as a family of five to celebrate Christmas and the New Year. The snow made a welcome appearance here at Christmas and again in early January. We had a great time celebrating our two January birthdays 🥳. 16 and 12 years old! 😲🥰 Claire got a new bike for her birthday 🚴. She loves going on bike rides with her family. We were delighted to be together again mid-February for the wedding of a couple who are friends from our church. Then we went to Toulouse for a few days. It was a great opportunity for Anna to drive her first kilometres under supervised driving! 🚗 Did you know there’s a cable car in Toulouse? For the price of a bus ticket, it lets you avoid the city’s traffic jams and enjoy the view! 🚠 Well-equipped for a visit to a partner church near Toulouse! (Thank you for the warm welcome 😊) After Toulouse, we headed for the Ardèche, driving across snow-c...

Here are some pictures of the highlights of the last few weeks for our family and our Agapé team. At the end of October, while Anna was away at camp for a week, Claire took over cuddling Noisette (our guinea pig) 😊🐿️. During the October school holidays, Carolyn and Claire joined the Agapé en Action volunteers to organise an afternoon of kids' activities at the CADA (Asylum Seekers Centre) in Rennes. After a week of camp and lots of rehearsals, Anna and her troupe delighted us once again this year with a magnificent show 🤩🎙️ Julie left her new life in Paris for a week at the end of October to come and spend some holidays "at home". It was great to be all together again! Anna received her "brevet des collèges", with honours! 🧑‍🎓👏. In November, Carolyn encouraged the whole Agapé France team during an online meeting. She shared a meditation in which she reminded us of God's exhortation not to worry and to make our needs known to Him, being grateful in adv...

The last two months have been eventful for our family and our ministry with Agapé France. Here is an overview in pictures. At the end of August, Julie moved into her room near Paris, ready to start classes in early September at the Sorbonne University on two different campuses for science and German. Claire's first day at "collège". And first day at "lycée" for Anna. Claire has also returned to the basketball courts for the second year running. Start-of-the-year meal for Agapé's Digital Team. The Agapé Rennes team enjoyed its traditional back-to-school day at the seaside. 😎. This year, we made a little detour to Dinard to discover the new Agapé Hub. Mid-September, we enjoyed a short weekend away as a couple north of Lyon for the wedding of one of Carolyn's childhood friends. 18 years old! That's something to celebrate! 🎊 Julie opened her present via video chat. But her friends in Paris organised a crêpe party to celebrate "for real". Dav...
