I preached in the morning and Eddie in the evening last Lord's Day, both tackling prophecies from Isaiah regarding the Bethlehem Baby - Isaiah 9:6 and Isaiah 11:1 etc. The morning was the usual slow slow start as numbers built up and quite a few missing (illness, travel, etc). One boy who has started to come again did not make it for a third Sunday, sadly. Someone, on the way out wanted to ask me about calling God she and having a Christmas tree. No and yes were my brief answers. We have lost five people in recent weeks but numbers seem to stay the same. After the morning service we sang happy birthday to a member, which we often do. There was more, however - as well as a cake she had arranged a tub of jolloff rice and a chicken leg and a bottle of water for all. That was nice. In the evening we were our usual fourteen or so. We had a newcomer who has moved to the immediate area and is from a church like ours so hopefully she will want to stick with us.
