Sunday June 28th

Today was a day that was full of great worship and fellowship. It was the first meeting ever at the new church building at Amelia's Ward, and it was a fantastic service. Over 170 people attended worship there and were able to listen to two men from Hoover, Joel Abbott and Wes Blankenship bring the Bible Study and Sermon for today. I was told they did an outstanding job and encouraged everyone there.

The reason I say, I was told is, Glenn Till and myself, along with Suzanne, went to the Burnham Drive church and worshiped with them. I was blessed to be able to lead the Sunday School Bible study, and Glenn brought the message of the hour. There were 51 people in attendance. We actually started at the Amelia's Ward congregation at 8:30 then went to Burnham Drive to finish there about 2:00 PM. That's 5.5 solid hours of wonderful singing, praise and worship. Probably the most I have done in one stretch in a long time, but it was great (Chuck don't get any ideas). We arrived back to the house in time to eat a wonderful lunch that the rest of the group was so gracious to leave for us. A quick nap ensued, then it was off to evening worship.

As usual we all gather at night to eat a quick meal (actually) a snack, and reflect on the day's events and what tomorrow holds for us. Monday we will hit the ground running for sure, we will knock many doors, touch many hearts, and we will be encouraged by the community that we will immerse ourselves in. I promise, it will be Friday before we know it, and we will be packing to head back home. We all look forward to a great week and we ask for,your continued prayers and support.

'til next time......
