Our first Sunday in the USA.
After the disasters of the previous day attempting to navigate, we decided the safest bet was to stay home and do “Family Church” rather than try and find one anywhere locally. This has often been our pattern when we’re on holidays and it has come to be highly favored by the boys when we’re missing out on our home Church.
It was a little lacking without the crayons, butchers paper, lego modeling and drama we’d normally resort to, but it was rich none-the-less. We sang Colin Buchanan’s version of the Fruits of the Spirit making up our own sound effects using toys purchased the previous day. Then followed 3 rounds of arrow prayers 1. thanking God for things 2. saying sorry for things and 3. praying for one another in which fruit of the spirit we wanted to do better with. We began our John Life For Kids devotions and read John 1:1-18 and marveled at many things: Jesus’ identity in the first 3 verses as wonderfully revealed as Aidan did a terrific job of replacing “the Word” and “him” in the first 3 verses with “Jesus” right on cue, God revealing himself in the person of his Son was delved into and finally the wonder of his promise in verse 12 was gratefully received.
How good it is to share the majesty of God with one another as we meet around his word in two’s and three’s.
Next Sunday we’ll be visiting a Lutheran Church with some old friends out near Cape Canaveral.
