10-Jul-2010 14.00-15.00: Sjoukje’s brother Anne-Pier said farewell to his community at the Dutch Reformed Church in Gendt as a preacher. We joined his last service at the “Fairtrade” church. When the service was over there was a farewell reception in the center (outdoor) section of the building (see picture below). Recently Anne-Pier started a new job as a spiritual consultant for an institute for disabled people, which was the reason to leave his job in Gendt.
