Despite being on medical leave following open-heart surgery, our dredging pastor was able to take part in the “Volle Bak” (Full Steam Ahead) church service on Sunday afternoon, 6 July. For the fourth consecutive year, this service marked the conclusion of the multi-day Dredging Festival in Sliedrecht.
Although rain initially raised concerns about attendance, those fears proved unfounded. Doctor Langeveldplein filled with a large audience who were immersed in the musical story of Esther. Between the musical performances, Stefan served as the narrator, guiding the audience through the story.

SPWO’s dredging pastor, Stefan Francke, contributed to the latest edition of Safe Working at Sea, an online publication (in Dutch) produced by several maritime organisations in the Netherlands.
