Combined service


It’s been another really hot day today, with rain during the night, but a clear morning. We had our combined service at 11 am here in Jamestown, which meant that the morning was spent in various preparations…Nick had to set up the Augustine Bookroom, overhead projector and screen, and other bits and pieces, and I had to finalise the craft section for Sunday School, do the bulletins, and get the diningroom ready. It wasn’t stressed or rushed though, as we had given ourselves plenty of time. It’s amazing how much there is to be done though for church!! A lot of people came this morning, the church was nicely filled. Teddy led the worship, but took 45 minutes, so by the time Nick got to preaching, everyone was so hot and droopy and concentration levels were low. He forgot to send us off to Sunday School, so I had to prompt him before he got too tucked in to his message. We had 9 kids for Sunday School, and it was nice. Maureen did the creation story, and my craft was to make a garden scene, colouring in white cardboard and then sticking foam animals and butterfly and fish stickers etc on to it, with pipe cleaner Adams and Eves. The lunch afterwards was bounteous as usual, even though Nick had a mild panic in thinking that there wasn’t enough food – but there was so much left afterwards!
