| “You can stop praying now!” As many of you know, Sharon & I live in East Texas. In church this morning, the Pastor made an urgent request: “To all of you who were praying last February for warmer weather – you can stop praying now! It’s here!” Stay tuned – registration forms for the Dutch Gathering in September will be out soon. |

Such things also might be interesting for your members, or your community.Thank you for your attention, with kind regards,met vriendelijke groeten, Rozemarijn (‘rosemary’).Thank, Marilyn Marilyn E.

Seeing your call for volunteers, I could be your contact in the Netherlands. So I would be open to questions about places of origin or tips for travelling to the Netherlands.
