Yesterday - when I was young

The service yesterday was pretty cool.

Our piano player (Linda M.), our slideshow creator & powerpoint presentor (Christy M.) and our praise song & chourus leader (April M.) were not at church so we had no powerpoint, no praise songs, but sheila T. played the organ, with Dolores M. assisting her on piano - with Laurie M. and Arthur T. playing back up on guaitars. All in all God blessed us with some wonderful singing and some meaning moments.

The children's story was fun and informative. With the help of the kids playing all the parts, I told the story of the great flood - but especially from the point of view of the Dove. Turned out great. I really enjoy working with the kids during the chidren's story.

Last night Peg and myself traveled with Sankey, Daina, Corey and Craig to Rev. Edwin's church in Eastern Passage (I think) to his Sunday night service/bible study called "His Space." The theme, the music and presentsation was very comtempary with about 40 people in attendance; men, women and children - of all ages.

The music was great, maybe a bit loud at times, but very inspiring. The contemary songs had some great messages. Good time - very interesting to see older and more elderly men and women standing, hands raised in ordation and 'grooving' to the music, right along side some youth.

Blessing to you all today; keep chasing after God and He will find you.

Finally??

Hi everyone, please accept my heartfelt apology for forgetting about you. I've had quite a fe people "suggest" I start updating - so I am here to say, at least once a week I will blog you something.

I also have updated and posted all my latest sermons. I will continue to post those for sure.

Gradts go out to Michelle and Chad.
Also last evening at the council meeting I gave out 4 of my "Pastor's Pat on the Back" awards. Or as Diana M. says "The flying fickle finger of fate awards." I hope I got that right. I hadn't heard that expression in a long, long time. Can any one tell me whee that came from?

So pat on the backs went to; Daine P for cooperation, Hilda M for committment, Verna M for her encouragement, and Phyllis S for her positive attitude. A fifth pat on the back was schedlued to be given but the receptant did a no-show, so that person will have to wait untill next year, to see if I will give it then???

Blessings upon my daughter and her new job as a live-in nanny. I know she will be a wonderful nanny, because she has a heart of gold, and is simply wonderful. Miss you much T.

Pray for Peggy as she continues to drive from Digby to Weymouth, daily and mostly nightly. The weather gets bad along the shore and driving at 12:00 midnight is not fun. I love you Peggy and appreciate all you have done and continue to do for me, so I can do what I do.

I am so excited, surprise and amazed at the turn out for our new bible study, entitled "The Fait Cafe." The environment is set up like a coffee shop and people have refreshments and conversations of the assigned topics; and have fellowship. 18 came the first night and 20 the second night. If your interested, its Wednesdy nights at the church @ 7pm. All are welcome.

Well, not a bad blog for starters. See you next time - hopefully next Sunday or Monday.

Blessings upon you all, and remember God has always loved you, loves you right this very minute, and will continue to love you no matter what happens or what you may do.
