Fri,Sat,Sun: Highlights

My mom did great during surgery and is recovering . If you want to know more feel free to ask me.

Valentines day is done!
Thank You God.

I had wonderful helpers for the banquet. I had a few kids who really worked their butts off.  I had great support .If any of you are reading this "Thank YOU".

The food was well received.
We had: beef tenderloin, baked potato's ,green beans with bacon, rolls with butter and brownies Ala mode for dessert with whipped cream and chocolate sauce, there were also chocolate cupcakes for the minions who helped.

 I did not have to make the above mentioned dessert, I delegated that responsibility to another member of the congregation. One of my better moves if I do say so myself.

The rest however, myself and 1 of my older youths knocked out.

The decorating was done by another person from church and she is marvelous.  The skits went off without a hitch. Thanks dad for handling that while I was in the kitchen finishing plating.

We started the banquet at 6:00 pm on the nose.
Clean up was easy as we had disposable everything. People stayed to help transform the church basement into the pancake breakfast space. By 8:00 pm the last person had left the building and locked up for the night.

Sunday was a semi typical Sunday

 Sunday school at 9:15- we talked about worship as a discipline. That opened a can of worms. I don't have all the answers and I told my students that. However we are making progress. One of the things that was pointed out today is your translation of the Bible can really make a difference in your interpretation of a specific scripture. We were in Exodus today and in most of the translations the word used is "worship" but in the King James version it is "serve" . This meant some research for me. What did the passage say in Hebrew? Out came the concordance and research time began.

I did have to do a bunch of cooking in between Church and the next event . Beef , pork and chicken had all defrosted and needed to be cooked.

Then at 3 pm,it was over to the assisted living facility. I love going to see the people there , they are very lively and have great stories to tell. The people there want to worship. They are excited to see me and normally Dad. We sing, pray, Dad does a mini sermon and then Dad leads them in communion. It is more a time of worship for me than on most Sunday mornings as I am working as basically a stage manager during most of them.

Got home , finished cooking dinner and did coffee (x3) - Mom,Dad, Me)

Checked the church Facebook page to see if there were any responses to the 2 questions posted. Which were.:

1 : What was Pastor Carl's sermon about today?- This one is witness (most of you, if not all of you weren't there)

2 : What is the most awesome thing you have ever seen?


Please feel free to leave an answer to the second question in the comments - Keep it PG please.

This past week is done and that is good. This next week holds its own challenges. Dr. Appointments among them. I'm sure there is more to be done tonight yet, but I am going to go ahead and post this and call it a night on the blog unless something major happens.
