A great week...
God has blessed us with a great week. Thank you for praying for our Holiday Bible Club. We started with 6 children, then 8 and then 9. Although this is not high attendance, there were no problems during the week and the children were very attentive. Two of the children had never attended our church before and they came with their mum each day. It was a blessing to get to know them. Mac and I had met them at ASDA (Walmart) and had invited their family to attend. We're glad they chose to do so.
God also blessed our afternoon service last week at Whim hall (care home.) It was well attened and we hope that some of the staff will soon visit our church. We had a wonderful conversation with a couple of them following that service.
Katie and I enjoyed good visits yesterday at several homes as we followed up with church attendees and new visitors. One of the families who visited recently indicated that we will see them occassionally. Another woman who has not yet visited said that she still intends to come.
This morning our attendance was better, even with one family who would have been present being away for the weekend. I preached on, "Courageous Obedience" from Isaiah 53, with Christ as our example. If you are involved in your church ministry, leaning into God's good work, this example from the life of Christ would encourage you to press on.
Please pray for the mercy of God for the Scottish people. Praise God the harvest is not over yet. Please pray that we can reach many for Jesus Christ.
