This week, from Mary:
Greetings once again from Puerto Rico! Today was our annual Thanksgiving Dinner, with turkey, rice and pigeon peas, potato salad, pasta salad, green salad, dessert and soda. So, as you can tell, we all left the building FULL!!
The service was great with 102 in attendance. Johnathan has been sick for four days with the flu, but managed to preach the sermon. We had a couple present an interpretative dance which is one of our new ministeries. They did a great job and were well received by those present. The band was in top form and the people sang with a lot of enthusiasm.
Last week we started our "job fair" in which people sign up for one or more of the 16 ministeries of the congregation in which they want to be active in during the coming year. So far, the response has been positive with many wanting to become more involved in the affairs of the church.
This coming Thursday, Thanksgiving, we will have several of the missionaries over for a Thanksgiving dinner, plus a few of our friends from here. Its always good to share holidays with friends and family!
Happy Thanksgiving to each of you. May God bless you this week as you serve Him in your area.
