Mother's Day in Salzburg Church

Our Sunday service in the Salzburg Church was definitely not like West Portal. But it felt like home right away as we were warmly welcomed, encouraged and inspired. We mingled among the people and were able to get to know some of them. They are wonderful people! It didn't take long to make connections and encourage others; as we did, we were also encouraged by them. We were so impressed with Richard as he gave the message in German. Even though we understood very little, we felt the presence and blessing of God.

Team Austria was able to participate in the service. Richard & Hazel and us sang "Great is Thy Faithfulness" in English, and "Gott ist die Liebe" in German, and it sounded great! Then Sandy & Hazel sang "Fairest Lord Jesus" in German. All songs were accompanied by Betty on piano and Amanda on flute - - how appropriate as we are in Mozart's city of Salzburg.

Since it was Mother's Day, each of us shared the blessing of having had a praying mother, and about being mothers. The people responded to our stories. There are many people here who are burdened for their children; some have left the faith and gone their own way. They feel they don't need God because they have everything... wealth, affluence and education. Please pray for them.
