But there were lots of people on hand before the service to help set up tarps and tents and hook up sound equipment and set up chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was our special monthly adoration service, and we&#8217;ve been learning about the fruit of the Spirit. This week, goodness! And God has been good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday we also completed our virtual kids&#8217; club! We had only a handful of kids, but mostly not church kids, which was neat. And with the online format, a small group probably works better anyway. In spite of some technical challenges, the kids and their families were exposed to God&#8217;s Word and clear presentations of the gospel throughout the week. The teachers found creative ways to present the truth in an interactive way. Thanks to all of you who were praying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/cottrillcompass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/verse-game.jpg\" alt=\"Playing a game with the kids\" class=\"wp-image-10217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cottrillcompass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/verse-game.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cottrillcompass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/verse-game-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Playing a game to review a Bible verse at the kids&#8217; club<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So this week we continue with our hermeneutics class, and we also finish our 15 week Discovering Life bible study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we also appreciate your prayers as we continue to work on the challenge of a visit to Canada.
