Visit from Rev. & Mary Stewart

A week ago we enjoyed the company of Rev. Stewart and his wife Mary from the Covenant Protestant Reformed Church of Northern Ireland for a few days.  May 1 was Labor Day, a public holiday, and Rev. Stewart gave a speech for CERC on the marriage of Martin & Katie Luther.

On Sunday, May 4, Rev. Stewart preached both services for us, used the time between services to introduce his congregation and work to us, and gave another speech after the services on justification by faith.

On Monday evening Rev. Stewart met with CERC's Session, and their wives and children gathered for swimming and supper at one of the deacon's homes.

Everyone in the church thoroughly enjoyed our time with Rev. Stewart and Mary.  Both in Northern Ireland and in Singapore, may the word of Isaiah 42:12 be fulfilled:  "Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands."
