Induction Service

The official induction service for “pastor” happened yesterday afternoon. Nick will be preaching at three chapels each Sunday, and once a month all the chapels combine in the Jamestown chapel for an afternoon service. Yesterday was a combined service, and the Salvation Army, Anglican Church and SDA churches had been invited for the induction. The chapel was packed! It had been decorated with fresh flowers on the windowsills and looked beautiful. It was extremely moving to at last be in the church and amongst the people, and uniting with fellow believers in such a remote location who are of the same heart and mind. Nick preached a sermon on “the Glory of God”, which was a message about the direction in which he wants to take the church. A tea was hosted in the fellowship hall afterwards, and the church ladies certainly do like to do it in style! Homesickness hasn’t really started yet, but will probably seep in gradually, especially when it comes to Christmas and the family traditions and so on. We have been too busy to really miss people terribly, but you are all in our thoughts.
