The Montifiore Manse

Dear friend's and family,

Martha and I have returned home from a busy week of traveling and Bible studies.

We have been all over the island with some friends of ours who have been visiting from Chilliwack, BC. We had a marvelous time with them getting to know more about the history and scenic beauty of Tassie. Lord willing, you guys will be able to see some of the pictures in the coming days- sorry about the delay for those who have been waiting with belated breath for said pics.

Our friends Bert and Jan Stam arrived in Tas on Saturday March 8 and they flew back to BC Thursday the 20th. We had an opportunity to spend the weekends with them and toured Tassie with them the 17th-20th. There fellowship was a blessing ans was catching up about things in Chilliwack HRC.

The Lord help held for the Bible studies and sermons in the midst of this blessed but busy time. In the Tuesday night Bible study we continued working our way through Colossinas. We had our 19th Bible study on Colossinas and we covered 4:2-6. The Wednesday night monthly "Puritan Bible Study" with the friend in Low Head (almost an hour North of Launceston) we began considering the doctrine of the church. The study was a quick serve survey of some historic issues with the doctrine of the church and the puritans, the relevance of those issues for us today, and a consideration of some of the Bible's pictures of the church and extreme value of the church to Christ and thus it should be to us as well.

Well this is all for now.

The Lord's blessings to all.
