Long time, no see....

Firstly, my apologies for not 'blogging' for such a long time! There has been plenty of activity and we haven't stopped bible study, despite the lack of info here.
We have been following a Lent Course for Bible Study, entitled, "Talking About Jesus, " produced by Damaris. The course consists of DVD presentations by such luminaries as Philip Yancey and Canon Andrew White, (famous Christian author and Vicar of Baghdad respectively) who each offer thoughts on various aspects of Jesus' life and teaching. These are interspersed by pauses, during which it is the group's turn to share and consider the various questions that have been raised. Once we have held the final study I will post a summary of the whole course and our findings here.

On a different, and very welcome note, CONGRATULATIONS to all the wonderful people who work in our cafe. Today we had an inspection by Environmental Health who have given us a Silver Award!!!!!!! Alongside this, yesterday we received a Bronze Award for healthy options.
Everyone in Penrhys should be very proud - our little cafe can compete with the best. Well done, our lovely volunteers who work so hard to serve others.

Finally, for today at least... we ask for your prayers for Madagascar. Our volunteers, Mampionona and Heritiana have family and friends who are drectly affected by the recent turmoil. The latest news seems to indicate that things are cooling now, but there may well be more upset before life eventually returns to something like normality. We have heard from our former volunteers, and so far they are all well - we pray that this will ocntinue to be the case.

Congradulations to the Llanfair cafe! I know from experience how hard everyone works in the cafe and so I pass on my respect and regards to the volunteers who keep it running at such a high level. Great stuff!

I will continue to pray for Madagascar and to keep telling people what is happening there as so many people in this country haven't heard at all about what has been happening there.

Great blog xx
