It was good to see the church full on Sunday. Pray for Pastor Rory and family this week. They are visiting Rory’s brother and Christa’s sister out east. I will begin a series on the book of Ecclesiastes this Lord’s Day. I’ve titled it “Chasing the Wind.” It is going to be a fun study on life as seen by the wisest of men.
Pastor Rory finishes 2 Corinthians in adult SS and the morning service. I preach after the church dinner.
Greetings from the chilly Amazon Jungle. Yes, you just read that correctly. Yesterday was teeth chattering cold with a low of 63 degrees and a humidity of 82%. Add in a steady breeze, clouds and mist and you need to dig out the warm clothes. Houses here are pretty open. Our windows are screened but they do not have glass to close them.
Lin, Beth, Charlie, and I will be in Cherokee, Iowa this Lord’s Day for a family reunion – 100 of my dad’s grandfather’s descendants. Pastor Rory will be preaching from 2 Corinthians 12. I have enjoyed the sermons I have been privileged to catch in this series.
Pastor Rory, Christa, and their family are at Northland Camp this week with 8 young people from TBC. Pray for a spiritually challenging week for the young people. Pray for a good week of fellowship and growth for the Martins.
