The leadership teams' "true colors" are starting to show after 2 months of meetings....two weeks ago, we arrived to find a "clothing bazaar" taking place in the room where we meet...and I was speaking on Jesus cleansing the temple. Sort of ironic. Well, this week, Erik, pictured above found a hat that was a keeper, and a "gown" that was not a keeper. He and Sara also decided to try their hand at synchronized head stands...and all this before our meeting started. Mary Jill, Elza, Edith and Judit and I just looked on and laughed.
In all seriousness, we had 29 in attendance this past Friday and it was a blessed time of fun praise and worship and an excellent message by Erik on the first section of John 3. I had a wonderful discussion with Markus, a young man from Germany, for probably an hour after the meeting. He is searching and so hungry to know God.
We have three meetings remaining before the Christmas holiday break! We hope to organize a Christmas party on one of those Fridays. Our November tithe has gone to a 10 year old little girl, who lives with her mother in the battered women's shelter...we've bought her Christmas gifts that she requested: a baby doll, a comb and hairbrush, and a story book.
