First Sunday School

I woke at about 8.00am and got up to prepare a breakfast of banana crumpets for the “ladies”, while Graeme rushed out to take the 2 country Sunday services. Breakfast was a hurried affair. I dressed and left for my first Sunday School lesson at 9.45am, while the girls finished their breakfast and tidied up.
By 10.00am not one child had pitched up for Sunday School. I started going over in my mind what I could have done to advertise it better. Then I heard a call at the door, and Vontray and Renee came in – all prepared with collection money! I was encouraged. A few minutes later, Wendy Herne arrived together with her very shy daughter, Tiffany. I started going over what we planned to do in the weeks ahead, and then 2 of the “sleep over” girls walked in.
5 children, and a mother, and 60p collection, at my first Jamestown Sunday School meeting. God is good!
As I walked over to the manse, the girls were walking out with their bedding and things. They had washed all the dishes, and done a general tidy up for me!
I felt a bit “deprived” at not going to the 2 country services this morning, but also very encouraged by the children attending Sunday School. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have our cake and eat it?
The Jamestown evening meeting went well, despite the depleted music team. Steve, who usually plays the organ, will only be back in the middle of August :(
