Almost ran quite late in getting the boys to Sunday School this morning after I only got up after 7.45!! Such sinful sloth. Carl was making pancakes by the time we came through so we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast together. Had a bit of a rush to iron Nick's church clothes, but ended up getting to church with about two minutes to spare and not in the least stressed. I have taken over the "getting-the-song-words-into-the-computer-for-projection" ministry which will be easier once we have the Mac running at home which has powerpoint - for now I'm putting the presentation together at church just before the service. Thoroughly enjoyed Nick's message on the Sovereignty of God and the Vision of the Local Church with the application of finding and using our gifts and every-member ministry. Shirley invited us around to lunch where we enjoyed..., along with corned beef and a variety of other homegrown veggies,...yesterday's beans! They had also invited John, a farmer who drives the 25 or so km to attend our services. Had a super afternoon together chatting about cars and consumerism, although we left fairly early so Nick would have time to go over his sermon before the afternoon service.
This gave me time to sort out our sleepouts before we pack up and move out tomorrow. I enjoyed the afternoon service - Nick preached a slightly more doctrinal message on the Jesus in the Old Testament and the Trinity which I have heard before (the disadvantage of being a pastor's wife!) but I love finding Jesus woven through the stories in the OT, like hidden jewels. We went with Carl and Miriam and the boys to Patiti Point after tea of bacon, eggs and hashbrowns, taking advantage of the gorgeous evening - still and warm.

My, but you are kept busy! But it sounds like a happy busyness.
Awesome picture of the boy's silhouettes!
