It was a really good day at Christ the King Lutheran Church. They used this ministry following their pot-luck luncheon. We elected to participate in worship with them instead of showing up in time to “perform”.  Following our worship time, we had lunch then Vern, Sparky and the Professor showed up for a time of encouragement and challenge.

The people were very grateful and receptive.  A good day.  Thanks for the prayers,
John

It was a good day yesterday as we shared time with friends at home. I sat in the orchestra pit and played throughout the service, we shared lunch with some friends then participated in small groups. It was a blessing! This week we’ll get some work done around the house and I’ll prepare for a program next Sunday morning at a local church.
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers!

Hi friends,
It’s off this morning to Hickory, MS, for a church-wide family concert. I plan on arriving around 4 p.m. to move in and set up the necessary equipment.
After staying over tonight, we’ll head back home in the morning.
Thanks for the prayers. Lord willing, I’ll be able to post an update following the concert.
Blessings,
John

Thanks for the prayers, friends. Everything went well other than an inability to reach you. No internet and no phone service was a difficulty but we just focused on the tasks to which we were called and things turned out well.

On Saturday morning we had a program “for kids only” that went about an hour followed by lunch. A great group of kids and some adults showed up.
On Sunday morning I had the entire service, leading in worship, I used a “friend”, played during the offertory, then brought the morning message.
Sunday night I gave a concert geared for the entire church and God really blessed it as the altar filled at the conclusion with people desiring a deeper walk and many with a burden for the lost.
Again, thank you for your prayers. We’ll head out next on Sunday.
Blessings,
John

Hi Friends,
I’m going to give you a run down of the weekend and I’m not sure that I will be able to give you any reports of the services due to a lack of resources on the field.
We leave this morning and will move in equipment and set up at the church. The first program is for kids at 10 a.m. tomorrow (Sat) morning.
Then, on Sunday morning I will play the offertory and sing the music before preaching the morning message.
For Sunday evening I will be giving a church-wide concert to the family.
Thank you for remember us as we travel and praying that God has His will and way in each service.
We will return home Monday, Lord willing.
Blessings,
John
