What a day. It began early with work on a mailing for the stewardship committee that is going out this week. I got to the church about 6:30 a.m. because I had to finish up the narrative budget before Sandy came in. We were hoping to send it out today but of course everything takes much longer than you expect. I was still working on it when she got there. That was good because i needed her opinion on a couple of things.
Just before eleven a.m. I met a couple who owned a cleaning service. They wanted to give me a price on cleaning the church. We are pretty happy with the job Will and Don are doing but I felt it was important to at least check them out to make sure we are being responsible with our budget. They were nice and they said they'd get back to me.
That left me forty five minutes to finish up my weekly epistle. I was making good time on it when my computer started acting up so I decided to leave it and go to Rotary.
After lunch I came home and finished the epistle here and then I got to work on the message for Wednesday night church. This week I was going to talk about the phrase "Give us this day our daily bread." I actually enjoyed this week's message because it was so practical. The point was that God cares about our life and about the mundane ordinary things. I used the feeding of the 4000 as my text and pointed out how Jesus couldn't let the crowd go away hungry. He not only healed their souls and their bodies but he healed their hunger as well.
Then I hunted down the forms I needed for our mission Mexico team meeting. I hurried down to church for the six o'clock meeting. It was great. We met for an hour and talked about a fund raiser we are planning in January. Then we set the date of our next meeting, which just happens to be Tuesday, November 16th.
We finished just in time for church. The Praise team played, I preached and we prayed. It was a perfect ending to a good day at First Baptist Church.
