I really had a wonderful day. First of all I got to help out at Calvary Bible in the morning. We had a church service and I did the walking around to make sure all is well. The real sad part is they use to pay for securely during the church services. The reason was there has been cars broken into. One Sunday night service one of our older woman got robbed. So instead of paying for that, each Sunday some one volunteers to walk around and just keep a eye open on what is going on in the parking lot. Folks before I came here to the Bahamas, that was one of my jobs to over see the parking ministry. That meant, we had volunteers (48) coming in and help park cars. Now at Calvary Bible we have around 70 cars. So parking is not the problem here, securely is. Back at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, Fl. Now that was a job, trying to get all the cars (4000 or so) in before service started and then get them out afterwards. So we can bring in the next service visitors. So walking around the parking lot here is a piece of cake. Back there I had to ride a bike or a golf cart to see all that was going on in the 6 or 8 parking lots. We have changed tings up a little since I left there. The real neat ting is the Easter Services and Christmas. Now that is a job and half. You need so many more people to get them in and out.
The real neat ting is Easter Service, that is now at FAU stadium, Boca Raton, Florida. So tomorrow the guys helping out with that is going to be a lot of working and just setting up, I think today, cone and signs and what ever is needed to get them in and out. I think it starts at 6am sunrise,on Easter morning. I have heard that Frankin Graham is doing the teaching on Easter Sunday. That sure should be a FULL HOUSE.
Please say a prayer or two for Jon Bunch, he is the over seer now and I know his hands are full. He is the one that took it over just before I left to come to the mission field. 2005.
Okay after the church service I had a chance to go over to Billy's home and have a wonderful lunch. That right, Snapper and hot cross buns. That is what all Bahamian love. Everyone here on the islands usually has this for Good Friday lunch. It was so good. The only problem with snapper is the bones. Boy they are every where. So I got the main spine out, but still had small ones to deal with. Then after that had some ice cream and brownies. It really was a relaxing afternoon. Just sitting around and talking about all that has been going on and even about what they would like to do with their house plans. I am so blessed to call them my family. I know every time we get together, it is some fun. Billy and his family are so welcoming and loving to me each time I see them.
So what did you do on Good Friday?
