I knew about this party weeks in advance. I really thought I was going to end up not going. Maybe having that thought process caused me to actually not attend. Who knows? It was a party after church and for some reason I don’t get, Sunday School and church service always wears me out. Don’t get me wrong I love going to church. I look forward to Sunday each week. But when I get home I can barely stay awake to eat lunch and then I’m out for the afternoon.
During Sunday School and the service I feel energized. The time of worship together as a group of believers gets me going. I especially love the music and singing even though I can’t carry a tune. The Children’s Sermon is another favorite part of the service for me. Our Pastor does something unusual and quite daring, called A Sermon in the Box. This means every Sunday a child gets a shoe box to take home, put something in it and bring it back the next Sunday. The Pastor doesn’t see what’s in it until he is doing the sermon. And he has to tie in the object to his Sermon that he’ll be doing later. We’ve had some good laughs with this. One time a child brought in the skull of a head of an animal.
My Pastor’s sermons always have me thinking and trying to put what I learn into my everyday life. We have some exciting music each Sunday with a hymn of the month that we all learn too.
As I mentioned earlier our church is going through a huge renovation. Today we got to see a lot more progress in the continuing construction work. There’s been more work on the stage area. Some of the rooms have been painted. And we got an update on the progress in our bulletin. The one thing that I can’t wait for is for the ceiling fans to be taken down. They will be replaced with new lighting fixtures. The church is already looking so much brighter.
And back to the party. Peanut went to it on her own. I came home, ate a little lunch and set the alarm to wake me at 2. I didn’t wake up until after 4 when Hubby came home. Oh well. Another day, another party.
