Things have been slow here in Green Street Green and so posts have been few recently, I know. Here's an update. We're officially about halfway into the summer holidays in Britain. You see, kids don't get out of school here until the end of July and then they get about six weeks off before going back in mid-September. During those six weeks is when everyone goes away on holiday (they don't do vacations in the UK). With so many people gone, the church really cuts down its programs too. There is no Sunday evening service, no Tuesday or Thursday youth clubs, no Friday youth meetings, either. We've done a few day trips with people, which I've tried to report on, but none this week.
I've taken the extra time to do a lot of work on some seminary classes that I've taken along for the journey. So that's what I've been up to.
Things do get busy again over the next week and a half, though. This afternoon I'm leaving for some place in Norfolk county along the coast for a couple days with some friends. This trip is solely for hanging out purposes. On Sunday morning, Penny and I are leading the service, which is about Paul's and Barnabas' friendship. Please pray for that and I'll report back afterwards. Then on Monday Penny and I leave with several kids for Soul Survivor, a big youth festival somewhere in the UK (people tell me the names of places, but I forget them because I have no concept of where things are here). Anyway, I'm anticipating a rather intense week with the young people. Please pray for us that week as well.
OK, until later.
