Posted by on Feb 5, 2009 in Faith & Life | 0 comments

Mars Hill Church in Seattle has this January launched a new 28 week series on 1st and 2nd Peter called ‘TRIAL’. The sermon series looks at the issues taught by Peter through the eyes of ‘witnesses’.

Prayer Lantern Launch

While in Chiang Rai, Thailand we have experienced many hospitable moments from the people of the area. Thailand truly is a land of smiles. One of the memorable moments happened on the 29th when we went for dinner at the River House and enjoyed great fellowship beside the pool. Afterwards we gathered on the lawn and took a traditional Thailand prayer lantern as an opportunity to launch into praise and worship before praying for Thailand and the work of the Quinley family. It was an awe inspiring sight to see the lantern fill with hot air before heading into the evening sky. We would have...
