Sometimes, at the end of a day, one can do nothing more than be thankful. So it was with Liebenzell missionary Ruth Krause and the recent “Women’s Day” gathering in Le Mans, France. Nearly 50 participants gathered to sing, pray, exchange ideas, share a good meal, and enjoy an enriching program. Ruth shares that the musical duo “Sola” was terrific, in spite of the fact that one of the members was suffering from a strained throat. A self-penned sketch about the prodigal son inspired many.

The highlight of the program was the message by speaker Marie Christine Fave. She spoke on the simple subject of grace. “God’s grace is larger than we can imagine, and it responds to our needs, not to our merit,” she declared. “Grace is the keyword in the Gospels,”

Krause noted that the day ended with great conversations and the opportunity to share Christian literature and Bible calendars.
