September 19 #37

Shaken

Over the last two days, Taiwan has experienced two earthquakes over magnitude 6 and many smaller aftershocks.  (We are all OK! There is property damage on the other side of the island, some injured people, but no reports of loss of life. News Report)

Kathy-Lu was telling me that the Bible memory verse  she chose as a part of the Sunday School lesson was Psalm 62:2. How appropriate for Kathy-Lu to memorize that verse in her preparation for teaching, learning it before these earthquakes, right?

Unfortunately, the students were all unable to attend on Sunday.  She has arranged to teach the lesson that she prepared next Sunday.

Will you pray that the students will attend, and learn about the value of building their lives on the Rock vs building on sandy soil?

Praise and Prayer

  • Homework Club starts meeting on Tuesday, Sept 20.  Pray that healthy routines will be established and for trust relationships to be formed.
  • Adjusting hopes and expectations as we deal with the unexpected is a part of life.  Sunday (Sept 18) was an example of that:  (1) Pastor Joshua preached as the guest speaker could not come; (2) Kathy-Lu did not teach because students were all absent; (3) The congregational meeting did not have a quorum so alternate methods of decision-making are being used.  Join us in praising the God who does not change for extending grace and helping us to adapt our plans for the unexpected.
