I'll Be Singing Sunday Night
Since Pastors Ben and Dan will be busy most of Sunday afternoon with the "SALT" talks (Strategy And Leadership Training), they put me in charge of the Sunday night service; so I decided to do a concert of some more of my original songs (I sang two last Sunday night) and a few favorites that have been requested. It will begin and end at the usual time of 6:30 - 7:30 PM, in the worship center.
Visa update
I overnighted all my documents to Chicago on Monday and they arrived at the British Consulate before 9 AM Tuesday, according to the UPS tracking website. Now it's a waiting game. You see it doesn't require a visa to visit the UK, but if you plan to live and work there, well that's a different story. Hopefully it won't take them long to recognize that I'm not a terrorist and everything will go smoothly. Keep praying and I'll keep you posted.
Also, please kepp in mind that later in the summer we will have a 4 BR house for rent in Clermont but
first we need to sell our furniture, two mini-vans, and find a home
for Angel, the dog.

Our Church in London
The photo above shows one the churches I'll be working with in London. This is Camden Road Baptist Church where Pastor Brian Wightwick has been pastoring for nearly 15 years. The church was founded in 1855 and originally included a sanctuary building (to the left) known for it's massive twin steeples. Some years ago that building was sold to the government and the steeples were removed. Today the surrounding community is racially mixed but predominately Afro-Caribbean. |
