Life here at Westlake church Lausanne just got a bit more exciting this past Sunday as we had our very first Sunday evening service! The morning service has been growing for some time and we felt that adding a second service would allow us to grow more without comlpetely outgrowing our current venue. The second service is lead 'up-front' by the 20's and 30's homegroup of which we are a part and great friends with! It has a more informal feel and a less traditional structure with one of our aims being to reach those who are 'unchurched' or new to the faith. It is also a wonderful opportunity to spend another couple of hours at the beginning of the week worshipping God and hearing the truth of His Word. We had a great time of worship, fellowship and teaching followed by a question and answers section. We also had a large number of French speakers who came too.We would ask that those committed to praying for us out here would add this second service to your prayers. Pray that God is glorified, that people come to know the truth of the gospel, that people are fed as they get rooted and grounded in the Word. Praise God!

Very exciting stuff Mrs Bateman, we shall be praying for this! We are so encouraged by what the Lord is doing through you both out there! Love and Blessings to you both x
