News from Woodlands United Congregational Church

Jan and Ruthann worshipped with our sister church in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa last Sunday and read letters that Susan Holbrook and I had written to the church. The picture is of their pastor, Reverend Edward Pieterson, who is praying during the service in this photo.

On Monday Rev. Pieterson called me and let me know that they appreciated Jan's and Ruthann's visit and the letters that they read. He informed me that the church is doing well, and that they have instituted their own praise service. He said that they would appreciate prayers concerning what to build on the plot of land next to the church building. Apparently the city has told them that they have to do something with the land within the next year, so they would appreciate our prayers concerning God's leading. He is pleased with the Junior High Youth Fellowship which has grown considerably over the last year.
