Well Sunday was another warm day with lots of morning fog and then in the afternoon we got a rain storm that dropped lots of well needed rain and then it cleared out just in time for our winter fest event at church that started at 5 and lasted until 8. We both served in that event for two hours and I served at both services for church in the morning as well. I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem as well as can be expected due to ages and health issues.
I headed out around 8:30 for SRBC to serve in the early service while Nancy rode with the Botbyl's for the second service that starts at 10:30. There was a huge crowd in both services but not many new folks for the first time which I greet and make them feel welcome. Pastor Derek had a great message from Acts for both services as I sat in on both with basically the same message but some variations. The praise music was awesome as well. I did miss my on line service from Cornerstone Chapel which we love on Sunday morning before heading off to SRBC.
Carol made a delicious soup and home made bread and invited us as well as Patrick for lunch after the service which held me the rest of the day except for when we got back from winter fest I had a handful of nuts and some fruit of the vine. We worked two areas of that event with carnival games to start and then a huge bounce house which required a little more attention as kids were wild sliding down these chutes. I was ready for a change after that hour as your attention is strict on what these kids were doing and trying to keep them from getting hurt. We met some really nice volunteers and this was a big production for the community as well as church family. We have about 15 acres of land and most of it was in use in some fashion as well as the main building which held a live nativity. Folks were backed up in lines to attend this production which had several scenes from the Christmas story. No live animals inside but everything else was done to replicate the event. Well done.
Well the Bucs won a game finally after narrowly defeating a 1-10 team. I never got to see any of it but did watch an earlier game and part of the late game before lights out at 10. It's been a busy action packed weekend with the pickle ball tournament on Saturday and the events at church on Sunday. I love it and so thankfully I could be a part of both, LATER
