coughs, sniffles and sneezes

It is too early in the season to be suffering from a cold virus, but it seemed to be the theme of Sunday's service. Coughing, sneezing and sniffling were all heard above the music. Also several were unable to be in services. Please pray for the health of our family and the Czech families. We need this to pass quickly - we have a long winter ahead of us. Thanks

In Sunday school we added scripture memory. The children seemed to be excited and eager to learn, or maybe it was the idea of a small reward that encourage them the most.

Faithfulness

Praise the Lord for the faithfulness of the members and also for those who are not saved, but faithfully come to hear the Word of God and the salvation message being proclaimed.

This Sunday morning, we had just finished our Sunday school music when the door bell rang. It was Mirek standing at the door. He was quite up set with himself for being late. He took a moment to catch his breath after the long, quick walk from the bus stop in the square, took off his shoes and quickly joined us. How many of you rely on the public bus system to get to Sunday school and church services? Mirek and his wife, Milada, faithfully attend services, but have not trusted the Lord for salvation. Please remember to pray for them. And yes, they take three buses just to get here on Sunday mornings. Praise God.

Blessings

Thank you Lord for a great day. The children enjoyed Sunday school as we shared the story of Pharaoh, Moses and the plagues. We covered 9 of them leaving the 10th plague until next week. We tried to teach the song C H R I S T I A N. We had so much fun singing a new song in English.

A merry heart doesth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Proverbs 17:22

We will be having another baptisim. Last week Lenka came to us and said that she had trusted the Lord as her personal savior. Also after the morning services the Sunday before last, Alena bowed her head and asked the Lord to save her. Amen

Back to School Sunday

On Sunday we had 14 in the services. We gave each child a bag of goodies as an encouragment as they head back to school. It was so good to have everyone back it services. Lenka was very attentive in the service, please pray for her salvation. Everyone had a great time at our "American cookout". We had Mr. and Mrs. Tuma and Katka and her daughters also join us for the afternoon. Continue to pray as we reach out to these families as they go through some very difficult times.

Praise the Lord for His goodness

Sunday, our attenance was back up as holiday time comes to an end for the summer season. Members and visitors alike were encouraged by the testimony given in services by Jan as he shared how the Lord had provided extra work to meet a financial need.

Trusting in God's lovingkindness

Psalm 36:7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

Our attendance still remains low, but nothing out of the norm for this time of the year. We are studying about the life of Moses in the children's Sunday school class. Our boys enjoy hearing the stories in Czech. Praise God His WORD is the same in all languages.

We found out this week that Josef, a Czech Christian friend of ours, has prostate cancer. Some of you might recongnize the name. He did most of our printing when we first came to Brno. He is now working for another company and no longer prints in his shop. Please pray for him. He will be going into the hospital in September.

Sunday Czech services

We had a great service today. Several families on vacation, but the Lord used His word to encourge all. Sunday school lesson was on Moses.
