Chapel reopens


It was lovely to be back in the chapel today, and the church was quite full for the combined service. The difference to the chapel is very noticeable. The walls are white, the carpets clean, the railings cleaned and varnished – everything looks fresh and clean, instead of the dull shabbiness we are used to. Nick continued in his series in John, although did a topical sermon on Satan. It was an excellent message, really to teach us about our enemy, and what to do about him. Many of our members participated in the service, with scripture readings and music items and that sort of thing. After the service there was the usual tea and “fellowship”. We finished cleaning up at 5.45, and then took a drive up to the top of Ladder Hill to watch the sun set. Typically, it rained, and the sun was obscured by cloud. We did have a beautiful view of its rays breaking through some cloud though and shining down onto the sea, which was spectacular. Caleb ran around with his binoculars pretending to take pictures of things.
