It was impossible to enter the church today, but how encouraging to join a number of people who had gathered for prayer and fellowship on the stage area outside the church this morning. There was a buzz in the air as together, each one affirmed the preparations being made for next weekend. The rakes were taken up and the dry leaves burned around the grounds, all in expectation of fresh soil and spaces for shelters to be erected for next weekend's Thanksgiving program.
Some large trucks were buzzing around the town for different reasons, but for those I had the opportunity to meet with today, we rested, visited nearby homelands, collected some maypal and soaked in the breeze and the beauty of the sea.
