Our annual International Dinner will be held on October 9th at 6:00 p.m. This night begins with a potluck. Everyone is encouraged to bring their best international-type dishes to share. We then have a couple of games or special music. Our evening will end with a mission challenge from Missionary Michael Hull. This is a family-friendly activity.
This past Lord’s Day – September 26th – we began a new series called “Grief.” It is a study of Lamentations. Sunday School teacher’s introduced the study by giving us the background of Jeremiah – the author. I introduced “Grief” as a topic and preached through chapter 1. This coming Sunday, SS will look at chapter 2 and I will preach through chapter 3. It is going to be a quick study!
Several have written asking about my boat engine. We’ve been on rationed energy and have had very little internet access these past few weeks so I have not been able to get an update out. I did not have peace about sending the boat down to Manaus.
I am in my office this morning trying to find my desk and my soul. It has been a busy weekend. Lin and I served over 60 meals at our home from Saturday night to Sunday night. Then we left with Rory and Christa for the Wisconsin Fellowship of Baptist Churches’ annual meeting in New Lisbon. I returned back home last night around 8.
I don’t like to start out with bad news. But will get it out of the way and move on to the more positive things to end. We all know that God is awesome, but there are days that the adversary likes to try to get his licks in as well… It has been a month of mixed heartache and blessing. The lives of several have been deeply affected by sin and godlessness.
