Welcome to the Violleau's

The last few months for our family have been full of experiences, emotions, learning and meeting new people. From February 13th to 18th, we gathered with our colleagues and their families, from all over France, for Agapé France's annual Staff Conference. What a privilege to be part of such a great team! This year, Carolyn was in the worship team, behind the keyboard. She did a great job rising to the challenge! Julie, Anna and Claire were each in a group with children their own age. And this year Julie joined the teenagers for an excellent program, lead by three missionary kids (now adults) from different countries. David's TIC team, usually split between two different cities, were able to pose for a "family photo" :-) . A week later, David was about to fly to Berlin for the second part of his leadership program with Agapé Europe. Before he left, we wanted to have some quality time as a family. We chose the nearby aquarium of Saint Malo. Besides sharks rubbing shoulde

Here is a photo summary of our adventures since last November. Like every year, Carolyn celebrated her birthday on 30th November. In December, Julie and Anna invited a few friends to discover the Christmas story, decorate gingerbread men and create their own Christmas cards. A new family who recently moved to our town invited us to see their beautiful Christmas decorations. Several weeks of hard work to delight the whole neighbourhood.  Every year in December, our Agapé Rennes team gets together for a Christmas breakfast. A time to celebrate what God has been doing throughout the year, to pray together and to savour the delicious goodies brought by everyone.   This year again, everyone was spoilt at Christmas.  The girls made the most of the holidays to play with the gifts they received.  And David made good use of his new cook's equipment. Julie and Anna enjoyed a horse ride at French Grandma and Grandad's. And we ended the year with a family outing to the ice rink on 31st Dec
