increase
in congregational
members,
we
have found a bigger place and are in the process of swapping

on it. The church's
income has increased,
reflecting the growing
number of
congregants.
The church runs various
spiritual
and sports
activities,
including
football, volleyball,
and ping pong. We also
organize Arabic lessons, music classes, and Coptic classes. Join
churches together
in Bromley. We are teaching the deacons,
and their numbers
have continued
to increase dramatically
over
the years.
