Whew! What a day! I spoke to the pastors of Tri County Baptist Association this morning for a bit then there was visiting and lunch. After lunch my host pastor and I headed back to the church to load the necessary equipment for the school program. We got to the school around 1:30 to set everything up with the program scheduled around 2:15. I was told to go until around 2:45 when they would line the kids up for bus and parent pickup. Well, the kids started coming in to the gym around 1:45. Yep…30 minutes before time. (it seems there was a “glitch” in the memo from the principle. So, at 2:00 I began and went for 45 minutes with the elementary group. It was fun but very tiring.
\nThe service began at 7 p.m. tonight with a pretty good turnout including some of the kids from the school. The pastor was encouraged as were some of the church members who desire growth and outgreach.
\nTomorrow’s activities will be a little lighter tomorrow as I focus on the evening’s service and catch up on a little “road work”.
\nI appreciate your prayers for continued strength. It is making a difference so please keep it up. My voice, again, is weakening just a bit so prayer coverage there would be appreciated.
\nBlessings,
\nJohn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
