The church celebrated ten years of existence here on avenue de Fuveau this weekend. Saturday was spent in prayer for the church here and its future, and in the evening we sang, ate and watched PowerPoint slideshows of the church over the last ten years.
Things certainly have changed! Ten years ago, the chapel was a garage, the preachers were younger, and the kids from the youth group were still in diapers (well, they were a bit older than that, but you get the idea).
For the past ten years, the church here has been reaching out to the local community. If you walk into the chapel Sunday morning, you will find ethnic French, North African, American, African and Arab brothers and sisters. People from every social group and class here in Marseilles, who wouldn't be together if it weren't for Christ's love.
Happy birthday, Fuveau Chapel!
