The Mission

Not the film, we are in a 'mission church' and from time to time they have a mission.
That said, this is the first mission we have had here in the nearly 2 years we have been here. So we wondered what would happen.
We have had some early morning prayer meetings. It is not a big church so it was good that a few turned up for every meeting. Then on Saturday, we had the 'evangelisation'.
Evangelisation is when we meet and put out invitations to the 3 evening meetings (Monday to Wednesday) that comprise the mission. But it is not a big church, so just 4 of us were there.
Now June and the pastor's wife had nearly completed Vitry en Perthois, and June and I finished the last 2 roads on Saturday morning (see blog on St Genevieve, it is then that we had followed the trail).
So we split into 2s and did a village nearby each.
June went with Bernadette, I took Daniel with me. These villages can be much larger than you think. We each spent 2 and a half hours to go round them. The girls finished first and we caught up with them in the Irish bar near our home. A warming Irish coffee was just what was needed!
More deliveries on Sunday afternoon, and there is a team or two coming from other churches for the weekdays. We are going to need them!
