God looks after people. This becomes very clear in the meditation on Abraham, Sarai and Hagar. And also in ‘Woordwerk’, where this instalment of the series on the names of God focuses on the name Jirèh – God who sees, the Lord will provide. Even when we cannot see it ourselves, we may trust in this. Hans Overeem (81) has experienced this personally and bears witness to it in the interview series “Generations in the Church”: “I do look to the future with hope, despite the wars in the world. The Lord has not lost control; He is above all things.”
The fact that God cares for people should also be evident in the diaconate. The authors have formulated a revised definition of the diaconate and elaborate on it in the book Diaconate in Rotterdam South. Surprising perspectives.
Also, a glimpse into the pioneering work in Breda, a fundraising campaign for the restoration of the organ in Gouda, the sale of the church building in Zeist, and family announcements.
