Sunday services

This is Chuck with his friend, Tom. They met last time and he found us right away and sat with us during services. It was a long service – a little over three hours! There was a lot of singing and collections, but a new pastor was there and he actually had a very good message. He was able to speak for about 30 minutes! But I don’t know how many people were paying attention after 2 ½ hours! He spoke on Galatians 2:20 – to not look back at the past, to focus on the now, and not to worry about the future because God is in control. He was very good and I learned that the church is hoping he will be their new pastor. We learned of some news today (that I will not go into here) about the church and ask that you keep the church leadership in your prayers. I am looking forward to attending this Wednesday’s bible study and I will be sure to fill you in on how that goes. After church we picked up Robert from the Academy – he had left with the students before the service was over – and went home for a very late lunch. I did get the privilege of having mwaitu (grandmother) sing for me – isn’t she beautiful!? Chuck went to bed early because he isn’t feeling well (keep him in your prayers) and we had several visitors stay until around 8:30pm. At that time I excused myself from having dinner and went to bed! It seemed like a very long day although it was mostly time at church! Thank you for your prayers and please keep the church and its leadership in your prayers.
