Saturdays are a blast!

Last night, I spent some time putting together some thoughts for a Bible lesson and some activities to plan.

So far, I have the lesson, I was able to find one out of a lesson book from my church. I will expaned on it a bit with some craft activities from other resources I have.

I will be ingthe area where I live for some Spanish speaking churches. I need to find some music for the kids to listen to or some we can use for maybe a puppet show!

Today, I spent some time at church practicing music for tomorrow with the pianist, two flutists, and another singer. We are getting better every week as we work together. It is taking us less time to go through songs. Since it is the new year our two male singers were missing, drummer and the other female singer. I sure miss it when they are gone! I can hardly wait until they are back from their winter trips out of state and country!

I brought home the power point to complete tonight, I have most of if finished, only two more songs to format for tomorrow's worship service. I dont find it easy setting up the powerpoint right before practice on saturday morning! I should have gotten the info together last night. It will get done though.

I spent a bit of time at church formatting the bulletin for duplication and readying for tomorrow's service. I had a good time, Pastor Matt and my daughter Lauren were there. We figured out a great layout for the bulletin and then we jammed to get it all layed out. I did get it duplicated and Lauren came back from an errand to help fold them! yay! All done.

I am hoping tomorrow will be a quiet day.

I have spent the last few evenings helping my neighbor purge and organize her sewing/craft room. She is so delighted to have me stand there and say, "Do you REALLY need to keep that!"
We've had a great time and it is so fun watching her find things that were tucked away that she had forgotten about. She found a picture of her mom wrapped up in shrink wrap under some fabric. She said this is my mom! I havent seen this picture for 8 years! I moved everything in this room 8 years ago and never got around to getting things sorted out! I am glad to be there to support her and say, "throw it in the trash, give away pile, or back away from those giveaways!" Really though she has been good about deciding what to do with things. I am proud of the work she has done.

Course in all the sorting and getting rid of things, we have been able to talk and laugh a lot. I am so happy to have someone nearby to do this with. I had isolated myself for quite a while.
