I joined the elderly folks at the hall downstairs for their second meeting, followed by coffee and cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple from the church in Roubaix now lead this monthly fellowship. At their request, I shared the Gospel and gave those who wished to do so the opportunity to pray at the end of the message. Several of them turned their lives to Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please keep these precious elderly men and women in your prayers. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> <strong>The Weekly Update<\/strong> \u2013 September 7, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4654,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-non-classe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4642"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4642\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4655,"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4642\/revisions\/4655"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timotheepaton.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
