Church Campout!
Church attendance was low today. We usually have about 30-35, but today had only 25 people in the service. The two girls our church sent to camp gave testimonies and thanked the church for sending them. One of the girls just called and asked when they could come and finish sanding the old pews we are refinishing. They helped us the week before to earn money for camp, but wish to come finish the job out of gratitude for our help (and the pizza we will be providing!)
The ladies got together after my sermon and began speaking about having a campout for our church. Everyone agreed it was a good idea and we scheduled it for the end of July.
Our desire is to increase the level of fellowship and family feeling among our church members. I am encouraged that the idea sprang up from among the church members. I am happy when they take the initiative in planning activities for the church. I feel the church is maturing, as many Puerto Ricans will fellowship only within their family groups. It is nice that our members are beginning to feel they are members of a loving family.
Our new assistant song leader, Miguel, is coming over tomorrow at 8 am to help me fix some hard to get at water leaks in our mini-van. We ought to be disconnecting the transmission about 9. You are invited! Please pray we can find and fix the leak and that we can have some good fellowship as well.
