First day of ministry . . . ok, not the first day ever but the first day of our Central Saskatchewan Tour. Just thought I’d drop a line to all you who are checking once an hour to hear exactly what exciting things are happening!<\/p>\n

Today we did a Children’s Ministry Seminar at the Scarborough Baptist Church in Prince Albert. They asked us to come and do the seminar as a part of their Sunday School training. We had a great time! We had a great group of people there – they were obviously very interested in reaching children for Christ and they wanted to learn as much as they could. We got a very warm welcome and spent two hours together.<\/p>\n

We wish them all the best as they continue to reach out to children in Prince Albert! We were invited to stop by the junior church service tomorrow as well, so we’re looking forward to that.<\/p>\n

The rest of the day so far we’ve just been doing a bit of planning for next week. We’re going to be quite busy so we need to make sure that we’re prepared.<\/p>\n

Yes, we’re all still sick and quite tired, but we’re surviving so far. The trip went well and we’re still hoping for a full night of sleep – – will it be tonight? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
