Grandparents have returned to USA..
And we are in the pre-Christmas rush with a new choir at church and Pastor Kishimoto out of town for the next week. I will be preaching in the afternoon service this week, continuing a two parter on the family. I meant to finish preparing today but was up until 1am calling churches in the US to schedule furlough meetings so I have been sluggish all day.We are forming a small choir to sing at nursing homes the week after Christmas. I asked how many people could sing parts and only two of the 10 members gave a definite maybe. We will be struggling to have some variety in out singing I think! the plan is to have the women sing a song or two, everyone sing 2-3, Mrs. Kishimoto sing a solo, and the men sing 1 or two. We will see how it goes at practice on Sunday!
The choir offers the church a chance to help the community and reach out to those in teh nursing homes. We had a choir from Campus Baptist in IA visit and sing last year for Christmas and the GRIT team did a mini concert this summer. It opened some doors and now the church can take a choir (all of whom speak Japanese) and continue to work where God opens hearts.
I have developed an interest in darts after playing with my father-in-law while they were here and watching some of the World Championship of Darts. I am practicing hard when I take a break from study. I think I can take the big boys....NOT!
