Women’s day

This weekend our ladies in Maastricht organized a study and fellowship day for the ladies of the churches in Belgium and the Netherlands. It was great to see so many from the various congregations and cities. There were ladies present from 6 different congregations, from the northern part of the Netherlands to the western side of Belgium - all coming to the far south of the Netherlands, just past the eastern side of Belgium. 

Our little room did a great job accommodating the ladies for the day and our ladies did a great job presenting God’s word and time to share with one another about that word in their lives. The them was “Waiting for God”. The lessons were brought by four of our ladies, including one of our younger sisters in the faith. Shirley took care of setting up the room and making sure the lunch and coffee, tea and cookies were ready. 

It was great to see such a range of ages all encouraging one another. The youngest lady present was 11 and the oldest was 90 with all ages in between. It is exciting to think how beautiful God’s plan is of bringing family together. The lessons came from ladies who told about how they came to faith because of the faithfulness of others waiting on the Lord, about how God works through all sorts of situations to shape us into what He sees in us, about expecting and trusting the grace and strength of a mighty God and Father. 

Thank you for your prayers for this day! We were thankful to be able to organize this day, being able to see so many sisters that we do not see very often.
