Sunday School

This Sunday our Sunday School for all ages returns to its normal Sunday morning in-person format with classes for children, adolescents, older youth and adults as well as a separate class for the deaf. Everyone will be masked and socially distanced. In the evening main service of the week the kids' church will return which runs whilst the sermon is being preached.

Thus far this week we have had the prayer meetings for youth and adults on the Monday and the Men's Fellowship meeting last night. Tonight the Women's Fellowship meeting will be held. On Thursday we hold the seniors young at heart meeting online and the Bible Study at night.

This week I have held some important meetings with leaders. First of all I discussed the EAB Action Schools programme with our Patos head teacher Gerlânia. Then I have had meetings with Pastor Wostenes who leads the larger of our two churches in Campina Grande. Both churches are going particularly well. Pastor Wostenes' church is in the process of purchasing a piece of land at the back of the church where they aim to expand work with children and youth. Our other church in Campina Grande led by Pastor Hamilton has bought adjacent land for parking.

Yesterday I went alone to Green Pastures for a walk as Liz was too busy to go. I saw a pair of White Woodpeckers, a Swainson's Flycatcher and many Scarlet-throated Tanagers. There was a lot of bird activity yesterday.

Thanks to those praying for our folk down ill with Covid. Keylla (aged 20) is doing alright as are Joseane (23) and Sabrina (17). The little boy Jacob who had symptoms turned out not to be Covid thankfully. By the way President Bolsonaro has still not been vaccinated! He lives in a world of Covid denial.
