Greetings to all in the name of the Lord!
It has been a few days of really hot and humid weather. Yikes! We are sweating at night, although a few thunderstorms have come through and stirred up the wind. That was nice.
Things are going well. We are getting ready to begin the week. Tomorrow is the Divine Service at 10:00 a.m. (I'm preaching on Matthew 20) followed by a Bible Study I will be leading on Missions. I plan to plug in a powerpoint presentation from Russia 2007 just to give the folks an idea as to how YIM started.
Yesterday we went to the camp in Butinge. I was asked to put together a lesson (kind of last minute) by Pastor Jonas (the Pastor running the camp)so I prepared an activity annd lesson while the rest of the group prepared a game and them helped to facilitate the lesson. Great job guys! It went really well for last minute lesson. From the comments following, Romas said it was just what was needed. That is good to hear.
Our teaching begins on Monday afternoon. The group seems ready. The Lord has picked a good group to serve the youth here. I'm sure it will go well.
Blessings to all.
-Pastor Thoma
