T66, 67 & 68 (Friday, Saturday and Sunday)

Well the weekend has passed! I’m not quite sure where it went, but it was full with trying to get prepared for next week and the usual church activity.

As will become apparent later on I need to be prepared for the English Bible Study that starts up again this next week. So Friday was spent preparing material for the English Class (Saturday night!) and 1 Peter 3! Saturday was a fun packed day with me escaping to my computer when I could to carry on the preparation. In the morning the women’s fellowship had a serious get together to bake. They made some fruit cake and I was asked if I would share my mum’s wonderful knowledge of scone-making. I was unsure if the copyright was still in tact, so did almost everything the same, except I let them chose the ingredients - they added eggs, hioney and dried cranberries (it is thanksgiving after all!) in addition to ‘the standard sh sh recipe’! On Saturday night I led another English class which amongst other things focussed on my much loved film, ‘Robots’ which Jo had kindly found space for in her luggage (amongst another 8ish films for me to watch, in English ). After the class I joined the Young Adults fellowship who were looking at 2 Samuel 11 - David and Bathsheeba. I’m not quite sure what they were discussing but at one point there was lots of laughter!

Sunday was thanksgiving - I had to explain to quite a few people that its AMERICAN and NOT English! Anyway the church celebrated with a communion service including handbells, women’s choir and a good romping forty minute sermon on Ephesians 4. Afterwards there was a huggggggeeee lunch featuring a cold turkey (literally!). Afterwards there were two choir practices and a handbell practice. phew. Back to 1 Peter.

Tomorrow I’m heading to Tainan - on the East coast in central/southern Taiwan. There is a PCT theological college there and one of the people I met last weekend (Ted Siverns) is giving some lectures in English (trans. into Taiwanese) on Preaching. It’s a two day course and so will be staying in Tainan until Tuesday morning, making it back to Taipei just in time to lead the 1 Peter Bible Study. So whilst I;ve only just got back into the habit of blogging, it looks like I might be missing a day or two, but hopefully I’ll have some interesting stories and thoughts to share when I get back!
