Summer is on the way
It has been a fairly quiet weekend really, with three nights in a row at home. With the band in Germany on Friday, the weekly practice had been brought forward to Tuesday, and with the Youth Group no longer meeting Saturday was free as well. We were hoping to take advantage of the free day to spend a few hours at one of our favourite lakes in the mountains above Lavis, but the summer storm season has arrived so although it was warm enough, sure enough the clouds rolled in during the afternoon for a short but heavy downpour.
On Sunday there was another sign of the approaching summer - about one third of the people at church were visitors, most of which were tourists on holiday. Last year it happened at least once that there were more tourists than regulars, as they come then and the regulars go away on holidays then; when I was leading the service I had to do a bilingual service. After the service some people came to our place for lunch, the couple that has restarted the Young Adults’ group recently. So we were able to talk about their plans for the group and encourage them in their ministry, and think about how to get the Young Adults’ and Youth Groups working together. As the wife is the first of the seven pregnant ladies in the church due to give birth, there was also a lot of talk about babies and being parents as well!
