Hi everyone. Since our last blog we have been quite busy. Saturday the 16th, our church sponsored a marriage seminar. Our invited guest speaker was a Christian psycologist from the San Juan area. He gave a wonderful seminar on communication and conflict management. Twenty-five of our people attended. In order to allow the adults to enjoy the seminar we contracted a Christian clown to keep the children busy with Bible classes and a variety of activities. Everyone I talked to loved the activity.
For the past month, twelve of our church members were busy getting ready for a Good Friday cantata. Our Fine Arts director wrote the script as well as composed two of the eight songs presented. Scripts and songs were memorized and costumes and scenery had to designed and created. Finally, the zero hour arrived. We were unsure of what to expect in attendance. I had thought perhaps around one-hundred. As best as we can figure, there was an attendance of one-hundred and thirty to one-hundred and forty. Every seat was taken and we had to put chairs down the middle aisle.
Yesterday, our day began with a sunrise service. Mary said we had twenty-nine for the activity. It is always a special time. Everyone arrived excited and joyful. After the service several of the ladies perpared a great breakfast.
At 3:00 PM the whole church met for the Easter celebration service. Our special guest was a men's trio. For an hour and a half they did a marvelous job singing, playing the guitar and harp and exhorting the congregation. What a blessing. We had just two short of the one-hundred mark.
Last night Mary said she wanted to go back to work so she could rest :-). I can hardly blame her. We were busy!
Hope your last two weeks have also been busy and delightful.
Johnathan and Mary
