The economist thinks that the French economy is a time-bomb at the heart of Europe. French politicians are not happy about it. French people are probably too blind to think objectively. I hope it’s not true. But I think they could have a point.

Last weekend was quite busy compared to usual. It started on Friday evening with our first evening of “Passerelles vers Dieu”. We were a small group and the discussion went well.
On Saturday, I attended with my colleague a meeting in Rennes to reflect on the churches of our denominations in the West of France and the possibility of working together to plant a church. It was interesting.
In the evening, I was leading the youth group. We ate together, studied the Fall and played some games.
On Sunday, I was preaching on Ephesians 4:17-32. I was glad these two days were over. The week ahead has less meetings, but there’s lot of catching up to do. I must write an article for our home church, a book review. There are piles of papers to sort out on my desk, and I’d like to start reading ahead for the various studies and sermons coming up.
There’s a lot of church hoppers around. unfortunately, there has always been and there will always be some people who never settle down anywhere. We’ve had a few over the last 2 years. Here is what John Newton (author of Amazing grace) had to say about this: John Newton on Church Hopping or Shopping « The Reformed Reader.
We are starting a new series of evangelistic meetings using “Passerelles vers Dieu” next Friday. Thank you for your prayers.
