We kicked off our Bible meeting on Friday night and had a really good turn out, about 15 members and 17 visitors. Being that the church is so small, this turn out was nice to see.
We had a rousing song service conducted by Brother Peace,one of the members. Everyone sang loudly, not perfectly in tune, but with so much heart.
Sister Dorla, another member, shared with the group that they would recived a gift if they were able to answer her bible questions correctly. Her questions were pretty tough. I think she wanted to inspire folks to start studying their Bibles.
Ruby gave a great welcome, and warmed up the group with her sincerity and passion.
I told a rousing children’s story about Daniel in the lion's den complete with sound effects including lion growls. (The sound effects were also translated into Spanish making it quite humerous!) The kids loved it! The lesson was that Jesus wants to be your friend and Savior. You can call on Him anytime.
Mom shared a beautiful health message about the benefits of sunshine. I saw the folks nodding in agreement. "God wants you to be healthy and happy" she reminded them.
Dad spoke a message of Love. I was so proud of Him. He preached on Christ's desire to be in a relationship with each individual and the Good News of the Gospel. He really wanted folks to know that God's love for them is real.
We got home tired but lifted up.
