SUNDAY, 3/17/13 (UPDATED)
This update is not because of a change in anyone’s physical condition or a person’s passing. Just have some time to make a couple of observations.
First, Pastor/Missionary Mark Mast did a very nice job of sharing the Word in our two morning services this morning. The Apostle Paul said he knew nothing except “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” when he wrote to the Corinthians. Mark’s message on the cross was timely.
Second, I commend the men/women who took part in the work day yesterday morning. We had an experienced group and everyone went about the jobs at hand without having to be instructed. The “back 40” looks much better thanks to some guys who trimmed, cut, burned all morning. The sign looks brand new as our electricians spent basically all day rewiring it – what a job they encountered and what a great job they did! The new office suite received extensive work as we are getting closer to occupying it because of a lot of work yesterday. The grounds received a thorough spraying of weed killer and insect spray. The doors in the auditorium are now working properly after being repaired by a team of experienced carpenters. The Hallelujah Festival games are stored safe and sound. The screws on top of the CAB were painted and hopefully are sealed now to prevent leaks. These are just the things that come to mind as I write this but I am sure other things were accomplished as well. I say “thank you” to each person who helped and “glory to God” for all He did through you!
Third, the “food festival” seemingly went well. I am hearing that the numbers were down some from the previous year but I do know the food was great as was the fellowship. Heard a few complaints about the seafood so I will sample their food in advance next year. Thanks to those who helped and to those who attended.
Fourth, construction on the the Jennie Blaukamp Ministry Center is moving along. Check out the updates on www.aglimpseofgrace.com.
Thanks for taking the time to read these ramblings!
