Praise God for walking Jenn and all of her family through her mother's memorial service in late May.
Praise God that Matt's HMA period through June 27 finished well. Enjoyed so much the visit to Grace and other churches as well. Also had a time to meet with some friends for peer mentoring and also attended the PCA General Assembly. All went well. Also Jenn got to make another quick trip to be with Matt for a few days and celebrate the 50th Birthdays of her Twin brothers. Praise God for this.
Praise God for Matt arriving safely back in UK on June 28, after an additional 24-hour delay due to connecting flights being delayed. God was good. So good to be back.
Praise God for a wonderful outreach Sunday at our church on June 29. Our friend and visiting speaker Rahil gave a good Gospel message and some visitors were blessed along with regular attenders.
Praise God for a wonderful LEAP outreach week from June 29 - July 6. Great worship and training and learning and vision casting and great hands on evangelism. Lots of seeds were sown. Pray that the word of the Lord would not return void.
Pray for wisdom for a couple who are staying with us this week (July 7 - 14) as they seek to discern whether God would lead them to join this team.
Praise God that Matt was able to officiate the wedding on July 9 of a young man who had become part of our church when he wasn't away from university. It was a beautiful day. Pray for this couple as they begin a new life together about two hours south of London. Pray that God would bless their new marriage and shine his good news through them.
Pray for some good rhythms of rest and renewal over the next six weeks as we settle back into normal ministry patterns but also recover from this sort of "running start" and also seek to prepare for the Autumn.
Pray for four summer outreach events that are in the schedule for July & August.
Thanking God for his goodness to us each day. Pray that we would taste this goodness and be renewed in His love each day.
