What a day! This morning we kicked things off with Sunday School. George Rezendes welcomed everyone and got us up and singing. After celebrating birthdays and going through the regular opening routing, we practiced one of the songs the kids will be singing on Children's Day, May 31. We also learned a new verse from Romans. "God demonstrates his love for us in this: While we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Then the kids were dismissed for class.
When worship began Adele greeted us with a variation of "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" for her prelude and the congregation joined in as we sang it a little later as our first hymn. Gwyn Green welcomed everyone and the service was underway. Muriel Roderick talked to the kids about letters from God and the choir sang about inviting the gentle spirit of God into our lives. The sermon focused on Thomas, the doubting disciple and how his struggle is our struggle. Doubt is a part of a growing faith. We learned that Thomas went on to a long and fruitful ministry and so can we.
After church some of us headed to Dodd stadium for our Mission fundraiser and others went to St. Mark's Lutheran Church for the Interfaith Luncheon. The day finally ended with our first softball practice of the year at Kelly Middle School. It was a great day.
