This coming Sunday is a very special day as well as we will be welcoming Pastor Samuel Adel, pastor of El Sharabia Presbyterian Church in Cairo, Egypt. We are blessed to be in a "sister congregation" relationship with El Sharabia, along with the Christian Arabic Church. Last spring, a group of us from Third and CAC were able to travel to Cairo to spend a week with Pastor Samuel and his congregation. It was a delightful visit and we are so thankful to be able to welcome Pastor Samuel, his wife Phoebe, and several other Egyptian friends to Third this weekend.
