FOUNDER
MEMBER - SADLY MISSED - Mina Carser To her
daughter Lucille, son-in-law Will and grandchildren, we express
our deepest sympathy. From these beginnings the social life of the RTC began with Tennis, rambling and the fellowship evenings being a part of the Club today. Mina's
passing is the end of an era for RTC and she will be sadly missed
by everyone who knew her.
THANK YOU FROM MICHAEL & ELIZABETH in CYPRUS Please pass on to the folks from RTC our deepest appreciation of their love, prayers and gift of £950 received recently. We are continually humbled by the Lord as he supplies our needs in such beautiful ways. Thank you so much to everyone for their support in our work here in Cyprus. Our deepest regret is that we do not get over to the "Green Land" so frequently or enough time to meet people who are so active and interested in our work here. Please be assured that as soon as we get the opportunity we will meet up with everyone, share fellowship and explain face to face what God is doing here. We continue to be amazed at the opportunities that God gives us to share his word. Over theses last eight weeks we have run a series for men on " What the Bible teaches". Eight Nepalise men did not miss even one of these studies. We also has some Philippinos and some Pakistanis. We look for them to trust the Lord for Salvation.
If anyone would like to receive our regular Newsletter, Please advise Eleanor Godfrey and we would be glad to add your name to the mailing list. Thank
You again

RAMBLE TO WINDY GAP LEITRIM - 04 March 2006 The
traditional route to the summit is a fairly straightforward track
and Irene suggested A golden rule on any ramble is not to get too far ahead of the leader. This leader however was most grateful that John B had other ideas. Thanks John. I would never have spotted that bog. Hope Betty got your socks dried out. Lunch
was enjoyed at the summit with a few after lunch jokes adding to
the "craic". The
leader was a bit concerned when some people described this as the
best bit of the day! Ian
