I did not know what to expect for our first Sunday in Brittany. Although I have been brought up in France, I had got used to busy Sundays in Cardiff, with two services, and Sunday school in the afternoon. What would we be doing? How would we make the most of the Lord’s day?
The building was full, which was an encouragement (there were a few visitors, including 9 people of Mr Higham’s family). We were blessed by Emmanuel Hartiel’s sermon on Luke 10:1-3. Then, we went home, had lunch, and went for a long walk behind the house. Our location is great. We are on a small estate, and the Breton countryside is right behind the house. So we did a loop, went throught some lovely wooded paths. On the way, a nice lady gave the children some raspberries. She had a lovely English accent, but I let her speak French for a while before telling her we’d lived in Britain until last week. Her name is Penny, she comes from the Isle of Wight. I am sure we’ll meet her again.
Then, we went home, had our tea and family worship before a quiet evening. Praise God for this first Sunday which went much better than expected.
