However, it looks like Hannah&#8217;s visit there on Saturday has been cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>But there are other things coming up this week! I have a couple of English classes on Tuesday (my regular class, plus I&#8217;m filling in for Tina). Shari has her baking class on Thursday, and the kids&#8217; club and Bible study is on Saturday. We had a great kids&#8217;s club on Friday, but no one came for the adult study. But we did have a youth study, led by Rod.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also gearing up for an anniversary service in March, which means that both Shari and Nathanael are going to music practices this week.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also preparing for my last sermon in a series this Sunday &#8211; dealing with some pretty major topics, so hopefully my brain will be awake!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your prayers &#8211; have a great week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to those who prayed for Laura and her Mom last week.
