  • About 66 People Attended Last Sunday

    We had, by mistake, set out 100 chairs, so we took a few away, leaving about 60 chairs (too many extra chairs and everyone sits in the back stairing at the empty chairs in front of them). Well, as people arrived, we had to add chairs again. We've had to add chairs every week. I (Rob) preached on...

  • Worship Among $500 Paintings

    Last Sunday : Due to a lack of heating, we had to move our Sunday morning service from the large meeting room ( the room with the small windows at left in the back ) to the art gallery ( the room with the large windows on the right in front ). Though the atmosphere was phenomenal, it was crowded. We...

  • Lives Spilled Out in Ink

    These little note cards. I've used them for physics equations in high school, greek verbs in college, phone numbers, notes, book marks, and paper airplanes when a proper explanation of the reformed doctrine of predestination eluded me in French (yeah, I know, like it's all that clear in English). Well...

  • Week 8 Church Plant Update

    What's up? (this past week)... I felt old as all but 3 in the group were 23 and under. Martine was sick (a 24 hour flu bug), so her parents watched the kids while 12 of us met to discuss the violent, yet righteous anger of Jesus in John 2:12-25. Are we apathetic toward things that should make us angry...

  • Mary Yuill (Church Plant Update 02-24-07)

    What's Up? (this past week)... As 21 people sat in (or around, on the stairs, etc.) our living room last Tuesday, Mary Yuill (See photo) showed how God radically loves Muslims. Drawing on her 20+ years of experiences in Senegal, she forced us to look beyond the 135,000 who live in the St. Jerome region...

  • Fourth Small Group Meeting

    We had a bit fewer this week (13). Of course, small groups are an ebb and flow affair. We just pray that the ebbs and flows slowly rise as we announce Christ in this region and see lives transformed. (L-R) Zac (guitar), Jacob (guitar), Ben (Conga-drum) We talked through John 1:35-51, where both Jesus...

  • Our goal is NOT TO PLANT A CHURCH

    Coffee? What can we say, we speak French People sat on the floor and spilled up the stairs due to lack of space. 20 people were in attendance as we discussed the "logos", the light and its implications to those who receive Him in John 1. It was great to have such a group. So enthusiastic. Such an expectant...

  • First official small group of the new church in St. Jérôme!

    18 people were present Tuesday evening as we looked at the life of the apostle John. Please pray with us that this group would be a blazing light for the gospel in this region.
