study group. This is the end of the hour when they get to play! They are painting some ceramics Joyce's sister, Sharon brought down.Things went quite differently at church yesterday -- but still good. If you know me very well, you know that I like things to be all planned out, everything in order, and everything to go as planned. But I know it doesn't always happen that way. Sunday it didn't. We have our music and scripture for the sermon on PowerPoint and projected onto the wall (as a screen). Well, the thing wouldn't work! The guy operating it just couldn't get the projector to recognize the computer and project all the stuff onto the screen. A few minutes before 11:00 I asked him if he thought he could get it working, or should I start photocopying words to the choruses. I photocopied. Fortunately that didn't take too long for the choruses and the two hymns we were singing were in the hymnal. So we did it "the old fashioned way." That worked okay and nobody minded. We'll get the think fixed for next weekend.
Since Sunday was both Palm Sunday and April Fool's Day, I began with a little thing about important events that had happened on April 1. All this was leading up to singing happy anniversary to a couple in our church who were married on this date. This was also Jana and Korak's anniversary. We had a good time and someone commented that the Lord was certainly present. In addition to Him, there were 28 there -- eight were visitors from out of the area. That includes our friends from Grants Pass, Ken and Ruth Curphey. After worship -- actually after our coffee and donuts after worship -- "we" distributed over 300 invitations to Good Friday and Easter. And another 200 are being passed out in the retirement community across the hiway. The "we" who did the distributing were actually ten! Isn't that great!
Speaking of Ken and Ruth, they came Saturday and got "roped" into accompanying Joyce and I to dinner and then to see the play, "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown." A couple in the church was supposed to go with us but the wife got sick and couldn't go. When you visit us, you never know what will happen!
Last week I had to mow the grass! By "had" I don't mean anyone made me, it was just that tall and the day was great. There isn't much lawn so it wasn't hard except that it was tall. We also took time a couple days last week to go see the whales pass by. We saw a few the second time we went out. There are 3 good view points close by.
Now this week is intense preparation for the Good Friday Tenebrae and the Easter worship. We are praying for lots of local visitors.

Ken ordered a club sandwich. Look at the size of that thing! I won't show you the picture of Ken trying to get his mouth around that! P.S. He did NOT eat it all.
