Today is a great Sunday. The sun shines out on us from above on the slightly chilly day. But...It was so warm inside the church today. I could feel the warmth in the smiles and caring that surrounded me from the time we entered the door. Alice, Sue and Elgin greeted me with great vigour. I was so excited to be asked by them and the others to help out with the coffee service this morning and anytime I would like. I must apologise to the group however this morning as I was trying to talk to people to promote getting together on this blog. She forgave me but I promise to be the dishwasher next week... on my honour!
The children's part was so much fun this morning ... I think the adults enjoy it as much as the kids thanks so much to Rev. Greg. Jonah was really cute what a great idea. The kids got so into making waves with their pretend water and watching Jonah get swallowed up by the fish and sent in the right direction back to spread the word. True that there is both humour and sadness in the stories and what a great one to tell. Jonah with just a few words from God could turn a city over to the good side and be saved even though he really started out with no faith in himself. Cool story that I remember from childhood as well. I think the congregation really wakes up and smiles during the children's part and is raring to go after! You can read about it in Jonah 3: 1-5,10
Coffee hour brought a great deal of interest out in the blog and I hope together we can build from it! i found so much great feedback and good feelings from everyone I talked with this morning. Wow.... WOW.. WOW
I have the family over for movies and dinner today so I sign off with next weeks reading list... yes I remembered to bring home the bulletin!
Oh yeah... it is still Epiphany... and I remember what that means... Ahhhhh.... Haaaaaa.... discovery!
1st lesson ... Deuteronomy 18: 15-20 Second Lesson 1st Corinthians 8: 1-13. I am going to try to read through this ahead to see if it makes any difference to my understanding. I am sure it will.
Have a great day with your thoughts and Smile Bright! God Bless
