Good Sunday

Today was a good day. Pat's folks are here. They came up Friday after Ernesto blew his way through our area. We had a potluck after services this morning. The folks here at Mt. Dora don't wait around to get to their potluck. At Tabernacle we would finish services around 12:15 PM then talk for a while. We would probably get home around 2:30 PM or so. Here we were home before 1:00 PM. Even though we have singing at the local nursing home, I still got in a good nap.

After evening services we had a baptism. One of the girls in one of the cottages was baptized. She had a good weekend at Sonquest and decided to make the decision. Then later on Eddie (our youth minister) called and another girl in the cottage also made the decision.

I'm looking forward to getting to meet and interact with families from the Bible School. Most of the kids that go are not from a church family. I'm sure that it will be a good source of evangelism.

For those of you reading this that may not know, there is a Christian Home and Bible School a few blocks down from our church building. It has been around for 60 years. There are three cottages that house kids needing a home, each having a set of house parents. There is one lady who gives each set of house parents a week off each month. There are over 700 kids enrolled in the Bible School. It has a pre-school and k-12. They even have a football team (just 2 years old). I have already done chapel for the high school and middle school.
