A sad day and a happy day

Ellyn has a children's version of the crucifixion and resurrection entitled "A Sad Day and a Happy Day." That title could serve pretty well for our day today.

It was a sad day because today was the last Sunday in Honduras for a few of our members. In one sense it is just a part of the ministry here that people come to the country and the church for a few years before moving on, so the church is used to it. On the other hand, I don't know that you ever completely get used to saying goodbye to people.

It was a happy day because in addition to our regular service and communion, we celebrated a baptism followed by an "end of the year" picnic. It was wonderful to participate in so many Acts 2 activities in one Sunday.
