Pastor Deon is gone to Capetown for a training conference with the former pastor Neil and the intern.  This morning, Pastor Healy had a really good message on the last part of John 3 with an emphasis on John the Baptist’s proclamation, ” He must increase, but I must decrease.  Pastor Healy recently celebrated his 71st birthday.

During the first part of the service and before children’s church, we had two little girls creep over to sit with us.  One is the little girl that Virginia is tutoring and the other is her older sister.  They are feeling comfortable enough to come climb on ‘grandma’s’ lap.  Makes us feel good, too!

This Sunday, we brought Ruth to our house for dinner.  We had arranged for her to talk to her daughter, Sharon, and grandchildren using Skype, but they had to unexpectedly leave earlier to their church.  Maybe something can be arranged for Wednesday.
