Our last meeting of the year was very well attended and all were blessed by Paul and Shulamit's testiminoy and knowledge of the Middle East situation, especially as regards Israel - their Lebanese Christian and Israeli messianic Jewish perspectives respectively give us a nice preview of the One New Man. A short prayer time for Israel, and many other related issues followed, followed as usual by a most convivial afternoon tea and coffee and networking time. We wish everyone a very Happy Hannukah, Christmas and New Year.
