Hi once again. Today's service was a "keeper"....here are the details.

I finished a three-part series on the Holy Spirit: His work in us and through us especially as it relates to our work in the local congregation. At the conclusion of the service, last week's as well as today's, we asked the church members to sign up for 2009 to work in one of the twenty-four ministries of our church. After today's service the vast majority did just that. We are pleased with the response of our people.

As part of the today's worship service, one of our church musicians, along with the band members, presented two songs played and sung as closely to the original tracks as possible. He did a beautiful job as did the band. The congregation thoroughly enjoyed the presentation.

After church we celebrated our annual "Octoberfest" activity. This year, as in the last two years, we had two 25' - 30' inflatable slides for the children and adults to enjoy. Served up was barbecue and potato salad. The final count for the day was 109...once again topping the century mark this month.

This Thursday Mary and I travel to the States to be present for Heartland Christian Church's forty-fifth anniversary. I have the privilege of speaking for the occasion. We will be off island about ten days.

Have a great week. Thanks for partnering with us.

Johnathan and Mary
