Sunday Morning Worship

I reserved a room for this occasion shortly after we got on the ship the previous day.

 

 

This will be a morning that Cerwin and I will treasure and remember for a long time.

 

 

We asked each person to participate in the service by reading a story or Bible verse, singing a song, memorizing a favorite verse, or doing anything creative.

 

 

Cerwin opened with a few words of welcome and prayer.

 

 

Mark and Diane’s family led us in a song at the beginning and end of the the service. When their family sings, it makes the rest of us sound good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jesse wanted to do his part first so he wouldn’t forget his memory work.

 

 

Jeff (our oldest son)
