May 4, 2008

Next Sunday is Mother's Day. I suppose that after Christmas it is the most important event in the island calendar. Everyone goes all out to recognize their mothers. Our church is no exception. Last week was spent organizing next week's event: You know, dinner, gifts, music, tokens etc. We will share the details next week. A full house is expected.

This past week was also spent planning the calendar into the fourth trimester of the year. We were able to book a very popular Christian singer for the month of August. The building will be filled for the event. Perhaps the Lord will touch some hearts that evening. We also scheduled events for September through November. Never before have we had as complete a calendar as 2008. It is an exciting year!

Also, some days were spent doing office chores, ordering office and church supplies, contacting church members about a sundry of church related details, and preparing a sermon and lessons. Some of the afternoons were spent visiting some of the church members. As for the evenings, Tuesday I taught an evangelistic Bible study. Wednesday was our mid-week Bible study at church, and then Thursday night I visited a home to offer some marital counseling. Friday night was free (thank goodness), and Saturday night was spent reviewing the sermon and praying. And there was still time to play with our granddaughter :-) How was your week?

Thanks for partnering with us.
