Our annual end-of-summer church picnic is this coming Lord’s Day. We will meet at the Kaufman home about 12:30p for dinner, talking, swimming, fun, and a volleyball tournament. Bring a dish to pass and come for the afternoon.

As usual we have been busy and WOW is the best way to describe the summer season we have had… The norm is to go through a summer slump, but we have had anything but that.

We count it a privilege to be able to serve the Lord here in Mozambique. God gave us eight young men at one of our last neighborhood Bible studies. The school break freed some of them up to come. We looked at the 10 Commandments and saw that it is impossible to keep any one of them perfectly as God requires. An eye opener for them all.

VBS and Revival meetings begin this Lord’s Day morning. We will have 6 meetings: Sunday School, the morning service, and then Sunday through Wednesday evenings at 6:30p. Brother Mike Manor will be here to minister to the teens and adult. Pastor Kirby Huseby will be here to work with the children. I am looking forward to a great week. Invite a friend. Make this week a priority for your family.

Last week in “Chasing the Wind” we learned that Solomon has answered his question of “What profit is there under the sun?” He now tells us that “nothing is better than that a man eat, drink, and work for these are gifts from God.” This answer to his theme of “futility” drives the rest of the book. This week we will look at “hindrances” and “wisdom” for enjoying the gifts of God.
