Good Sunday

The day began too early, as usual, but turned out pretty nice. Had a nice visit with our head elder in the vestry before worship, which was Divine Service I. The children’s choir played their hand chimes for the first time in worship, and did wonderfully! Early service had decent attendance.

Bible Study went ok. We’ve begun Romans and I am approaching the study differently than usual. Translating the text in its entirety, reading Chrysostom’s commentary, and the simply reading through the English with the class, commenting as I am able. It didn’t go quite as smoothly as I would have liked. I may have to take some better notes for myself, and maybe provide the class with notes to help them follow along too. We’ll see.

Late service was really cool. I baptized two children, one 6 weeks old, the other 3 years, the children of a family who are transferring in. They had not been in the Lutheran church for a few years. So we had a crowd of visitors with them, and some others to boot and a nice cadre of our own.

I was hoping to get a few things done on our kitchen yesterday afternoon, but that was hijacked by a nap. This antibiotic I’m taking is really doing a number on me. It just makes me feel weird. Thankfully I only have one more day of it.
