Hi everyone. Since our last blog there have been a couple of major events to report.
First was the annual women's retreat. This year Aguadilla was in charge of the event. Our ladies began clear back in August to plan. Good planning almost always results in blessings and so it was this year. Mary reported there were fifty-eight women in attendance the best attendance in over twenty years. Our ladies did the teaching and the classes were excellent. In addition to the classes as well as handcrafts and a talent show our drama team presented a forty-five minute drama that was the "life of the party". Just yesterday I asked a Christian sister who had attended from another church what she thought of it. Her comment was, "I did not want it to end." I am so proud of our ladies.
On to other things, This weekend was dedicated to celebrating the church's twenty-fifth anniversary. Our board decided to extend the celebration for three days. For the first two services we enjoyed the preaching and singing of two well know ministers. They did a wonderful job and blessed us all with their gifts and talents. Then today, we concluded the celebration with a fine worship service. It was a delightful moment as we listened and learned about the history of our church, watched an interpretive dance by a couple in our congregation and listened to a guest singer bless us with his music. I finished with an exhortation to keep our eyes on Christ and never lose our zeal. After the closing prayer we enjoyed a wonderful catered meal. The attendance for the three services was 60, 80, 96.
This Wednesday is a baptism, the first of the year.
God bless you.
Johnathan and Mary
