Prayer on Wednesday mornings at the Temple
Corrie Ten Boom once asked the question: “Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?” She meant that prayer should be ever so important for us because it is our dialogue with Almighty God. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the Almighty’s plans and purposes for our lives and for the world. The Lord shapes us by prayer. The Lord leads us through prayer. The Lord tells us in Jeremiah 29:12 that as we call on Him and come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. This is the reason we pray together every Wednesday morning from 10:00-11:00 am at the Eymet church.
Please feel free to join us!

Spring Spirit
We thank the Lord for the warm rays of sunshine filtering through the church windows, as spring is settling in.
After a period of reorganization and redistribution of tasks between our members following Allan and Julia’s move, our community seems to be buzzing with Springtime energy. Just as everything around us blossoms in the sun and God is at work making things new, we are slowly transforming the old 19th century temple into a refreshed and renewed place, cleaner, brighter and more welcoming.
Fresh flowers and foliage from our gardens, presented in inventive arrangements, remind us of God’s creation. To welcome young families to our services, especially during the holidays, we have improved the children’s corner and added more toys, paints, pencils and books. This is a place where young ones can play quietly on their own or receive guidance for making small artworks. We offer refreshments at the end of each worship, offering moments for friendly conversation, exchange and getting to know the newcomers. Thanks go to the teams who make this possible!
Reviving the colourful mural
We are blessed with a large mural, representing John 15.5 “I am the vine and you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear fruit”, which was created years ago for the celebration of the Felibree in Eymet. As it has faded over the years, the artwork is now in the midst of being revived in its original format. Interestingly, the individual works of art given by every member of our church and pinned on the mural have remained as vivid as ever.
With mutual encouragement, renewed energy, unified actions, we are steadily transforming the temple into a homely place where, together, we can meet, pray, discuss and build new projects for the glory of God. “How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God’s people to live together in harmony.” (Psalm 133).
Fundraising for Charity
