Church conferences on the family
The last couple of weeks have been fairly quiet – in fact I didn’t even write a message last week because there was nothing out of the ordinary to say. The usual Bible studies and other meetings for me, school for Pinuccia and Stefania.
Next weekend however there is a special event to pray for. Louis Priolo will be coming from America to speak in the church on Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning on relationships with spouses and the family (as a part of a speaking tour of Italy). On Saturday morning, the ladies will be having a prayer meeting for their children and their schools. This is part of a world wide prayer day promoted by Moms in Touch, and in fact a few ladies from other nearby churches will be coming to pray with them. I personally am looking forward to listening to the talks and learning something. It will me an interesting weekend for us, because the speaker – along with his wife and two daughters – will be staying with us for the two days. So we will be kept busy not only going to the talks, but also looking after the guests. It does create a bit of paranoia having guests who are experts on the family and who gives talks on it – we might end up as examples for his future talks, positive or negative!
