Sunday Night Bible Study

 

 

I rarely begin with a sunset picture, but that is where this entry starts – with last night’s pretty sunset.

 

 

I was privileged to be at a Bible study with the youth group girls last night.  

 

 

 They also invited their moms.  Anna (in pink) was tonight’s speaker/teacher. 

 

 

 After being invited, I decided to attend and get an idea of the flow of the evening – as I was asked to be the speaker/teacher in February.

 

 

 They have wonderful attitudes and are truly seeking to follow God.  The evening made me excited to share with them in a few weeks.

When the study was over, we met in small groups to pray and discuss how Anna’s words challenged us.

 

 

 After a snack, the girls played games and visited.  Melita is one of the leaders in organizing this Bible study.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 My heart is still glowing from spending an evening with these wonderful girls.

Monday Morning Mailing

(Back to reality!)

 

 

On Saturday morning Inge taught me how to prepare for mailing the single issues of TFC’s monthly publication, Highway News & Good News. 

This mailing was transferred to our office, after TFC’s board and leadership reviewed ministry’s expenses at the end of 2008, seeking for ways to reduce costs. 

Mailing all bulk mailings from my office (Office of Communications) means the headquarters office does not have to pay someone else to prepare their mailings. 

 

 

 Don and Alta have been doing the labeling for several years, and were ready for some helpers.  They are delighted that coming to our office is much closer to their house, and that we found some extra helpers.

 

 

 We are pleased that Rachel and Glenn are willing to help with this monthly project. 

 

 

It took seven of us less than two hours. 

We are looking for others in our neighborhood who are interested in helping with this two-hour project.  It seems that we will need only four people a month – and if we have a pool of helpers, we may only need your help every three or four months.  Call or email me if you would like to help!

 

 

 This was a new, stretching project for me, as I have never done this kind of mailing – using labels and bags. 

However, to my delight, it went smoothly.

Tonight was sobering as we went to the visitation/funeral for the birth father of our “adopted” grandsons, David and Zachary.  His death was caused by an overdose of drugs.  Pray for the boys, as there is so much to work through in their young minds.
