-Feed Grant & let him play beside me on the bed while I read a little while longer.
-Get ready & go to church.
-Pass Grant off to Christina while I take Ryleigh to the nursery to comb her hair.
-Jeff has put together a great youth service. He normally uses his monthly youth service to give an update on the Bus Ministry. This time, he & the bus captains are taking the church people on a “virtual bus ride”. It’s hilarious to watch them re-enacting the way some of the kids sometimes behave on the bus.
-Another good evening service. God has really been helping us in our church services & giving us a spirit of revival!
-Jeff, Doug & Steve sing another song together. It’s not really often that they sing together twice on a Sunday, but it just worked out that way this time.
