Well, we are fast approaching the heart of hurricane season. So far it has been rather quiet off the coast of Africa. Fingers are crossed. I believe our church building is as ready as we can make it in the event of a storm.

Friday we enjoyed "Talent Night" at church. Normally we do not have Friday services. These evenings are reserved for occasional special events. Around ten or twelve people participated with drama, pantomime, poetry, a Bible lesson and a sermonette. After the activity we were to have a campfire but we got rained out so we opted for hotdogs in the basement. The activity was well supported by the rest of the congregation.

Today the service started a little slowly. People were a little late getting to church. Eventually they showed up and we had a great service. There are a lot of needs among our people. At the end of the service many all over the building asked for prayer. The weak ecomony is a source of anxiety for several in the church. Unemployment runs around 12-15% and makes for difficult times for the island and it's people.
