Pastoral couple Jonathan & Rachel Vaughan appreciate your prayers for Paris-Cardinet
This month (March) we’re starting a monthly discipleship course, aimed particularly at those who’ve been baptised recently, with monthly sessions after the Sunday morning service. We’ll cover topics in Christian doctrine and practical lifestyle issues; the participants will prepare for each session by reading a section of a book (or watching a video,for those who are less keen on reading) and answering questions which we’ll discuss together. Please pray that the sessions would help the group to grow in their faith.
Our next art exhibition will open on 29th May and run throughout the month of June. This year's theme is “silence”; we’re curious to see what the artists will contribute in response to the Bible verses we’ve chosen. The exhibition is a chance to continue conversations about faith with the artists, give people from the neighbourhood (including those who live in the same building) a reason to visit our premises, and maintain the positive relationships we have with the local council. Please pray that church members would use the exhibition as an opportunity to invite their friends or colleagues, and that it would prompt meaningful discussions about the Christian faith.
In our morning services we’re working through the second half of Judges (picking up where we left off in 2024), followed by a series on Romans 7–12. Once a month we now have an interactive all-age service on the theme of identity, using the fantastic “Who Am I?” material created by Faith in Kids (translated into French by CERIE). The congregation appreciates the different format, where in small mixed-age groups we have the chance to use our creative talents and discuss the everyday implications of what we’re learning from the Bible. Praise God for this new way of exploring the Bible and pray that our hearts would be changed by what we learn together.
