The youth had a wonderful time at the interclub that we were invited to at the church in Charleroi. Besides our host youth club, another club from Soignies was also invited, making us three youth clubs. The theme of the evening was "American soiree" and everything was decorated with flags, red, white and blues and other creative decor. One of the games involved searching for the dollar bill printed with a picture of the local pastor among many "normal" dollars.
Women's Retreat: The ladies at the church in Auvelais were invited to join ladies from churches all over French-speaking Belgium for the annual women's retreat in Charleroi. I was privileged to be able to go along and although I spent a lot of the time in the nursery with Zacharie, I was still blessed by the moments spent among the other ladies, discussing "The faithfulness of God despite our unfaithfulness."
World Sumo Championship!
We were blessed to have the opportunity to get sumo costumes for an evening with our youth club. The youth had a fantastic time battling each other in the heavy, poofy, clumsy costumes. At the end they even had a sumo break-dancing showdown!
