March 10

Hi everyone. As promised in the last blog, I am writing to report on the anniversary. It was a GREAT DAY. The building was filled with just two or three vacant chairs available. Mary said we had one-hundred and eighteen in attendance. That maxes the seating.


Radamés Quezada (guest speaker)

The worship team was dynamic and the song selection very conducive to a worship experience. Our church is slowly moving over to more contemporary music. It seems to be well received by the congregation. Of course there was special music which was first rate, a soloist and a gentleman playing the Hawaiian guitar, a first in our forty-two years on the island. Our guest speaker was from the Dominican Republic. He has a ministry that focuses particularly on the children in his town. He has over one-thousand children in his congregation! As he began to minister to our children he soon had the entire congregation listening carefully to his teaching. He was gifted indeed and used by the Lord to bless the day!  

After the service our church members pitched in to provide a great supper for everyone and then cleaned up after everyone had left.

By the end of the evening Mary and I flopped in bed but very content with the day. Mary’s comment as we turned out the light was, “It seems like we fed three-hundredJ.”

As I consider the church, I realize it is a fine congregation. We are blessed.
