July to September 2020 in pictures

On July 17th, we celebrated 16 years of marriage and happiness with a romantic picnic on a beach in Normandy, with a view of the Mont Saint Michel. All that was missing was the sunset that failed to pierce the clouds 😊.

A studious start to the holidays for studious girls who enjoyed working on their holiday workbooks in the sun 😎.

At the beginning of August, we spent a beautiful week at Teen Ranch in the Chambon sur Lignon (Haute-Loire) for a family camp.

The five of us slept in a wooden teepee.

The programme included:

in the morning, worship and Bible teaching ... with masks! 😷

Fun evenings, including one around a campfire to grill marshmallows.

And in between, lots of outdoor activities!

Giant soap bubbles.

Quads for the adults ... and even for the younger ones!

Horse or pony rides.

Climbing, on cliffs...

... or on trees.

A nice hike in the forest to a beautiful lake.

And even rodeo!

We are grateful for these blessed times as a family.

After that, David and his dad tackled the renovation of our bathroom (complete renovation because of water damage).

Carolyn also took up painting.

2 weeks of intensive work for a result for which we are very satisfied and grateful.

To end the summer, we dressed up for the wedding of some dear friends (whom we accompanied with great joy for a few months in their marriage preparation).

And now back to school again for the girls! And the mask on all day again for Julie.

Since September, our services at Rennes Nord Church have been limited to 50 people for the health reasons that you know. We had to set up a sign-up system for each week and we broadcast our service live on Facebook for those who have to stay home. It is not ideal for unity and fellowship but we want to be thankful once again for all that is possible.

On the ministry side, with current health regulations, working from home and video meetings are becoming routine...

When we look at what many people are going through in our country and around the world, we are well aware of how privileged we are for all that we have experienced again this summer. We don't want to forget that all this comes from God and we want to say THANK YOU LORD again.
