4 people were baptized at the weekend at our Jacumã church which is just south of João Pessoa. Jacumã has a nice beach and is popular with holiday makers. Our church there is not far from the beach and can easily be reached after a gentle stroll. This is the church where José Renildo and his wife Tânia were leaders until they moved to Portugal. So it is good to see the church doing well there now under the leadership of Pastor Cleyton Carlos.
Our Sunday services went well in Patos which is 330 km west of Jacumã in the interior of Paraiba State. In the morning the deaf fellowship have their Sunday School in person and the youth have theirs online. Our main service of the week is at 6:30 pm and this I led. Our assistant pastor Rafael preached on the Parable of the Sower. One problem we had in the service was that Leudo who is part of the deaf fellowship had a bad cough and was in church against all the pandemic rules. Of course he and the other deaf brethren couldn't hear his cough. Fortunately after a while one of the interpreters of sign language noticed and discreetly asked Leudo to leave which he did. I have since asked our deaf pastor Luiz Carlos to emphasize to the deaf fellowship that they should not come to church with symptoms which could be Covid.
