It's party time at the chapel! Songs, theater and games followed one another during this beautiful New Year's Eve evening, without forgetting a big meal around the bowl with the community.

"The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; and on those who dwell in the land of shadow a light has shined.

You have made joy abundant, you have increased gladness; they rejoice before you, as one rejoices in the harvest, as one exults when dividing the spoils." Isaiah 9:1-2

The team wishes everyone to rejoice in the coming of the Light!

The Flambeaux teachers took advantage of the end of the school year to take our students on a green class trip to the permaculture garden in Beer Sheba. So many plants and trees to discover, as well as the relationships that exist between all beings created by our God!

The primary school was equipped with solar panels this Tuesday. In addition to ensuring the production of electricity for this pole, the installation of the panels helps to reduce the heat transmitted by the sheet metal roofs to the inside of the classrooms.
