Nursery Tales

The church is preparing a classroom to be used as a nursery.  The walls are painted, the floor has foam mats, toys are waiting, and this past week we installed a speaker on the wall so that parents watching the younger children can listen to the service.

Our neighbor has sound system expertise, so we hired him to come and help.  We were glad we did!  The newly installed volume switch initially controlled the volume in the nursery and in the sanctuary too.  It took his expertise to to allow the volume in the different rooms to be controlled separately.

The experience has made me think about God’s desire that we change from controlling our lives to letting Him do so.  Sometimes it is easy to say we are giving control to Him, but in reality still hang onto the control of things.  The reality is that more sanctification is needed if we are to be holy as He is holy.

Thanks for Praying!

Our few days away allowed us to accomplish the things we desired.  We are more refreshed and better prepared for things that will be happening soon.

Prayer Needs

• The “Plum Rains” have arrived.  We are thankful for the water, but are still recovering from the disappointment of cancelling last Saturday’s church outdoor activity.
• Please pray that the incisions from Warren’s surgery will heal quickly.  Also pray for him as he prepares for baptism.
• This month is the season for calculating Taiwan income taxes. We are having difficulty figuring out the recent changes that are supposed to prevent double taxation between Taiwan and Canada.  Please pray we will find the right people to assist us in this.
• Thank-you for remembering to pray for us as we prepare for our summer in Canada:  Elyssa’s wedding (July 27), speaking in churches, and connecting with partners.
