Daniel was going to post a report of the combined worship service following the seminar, but had a death in the family. I'm posting his latest e-mail to me instead so you will have some idea of what a great weekend it was. Daniel, however, was saddened to learn Monday morning that his cousin (the son of an uncle who died last week) was found dead in a pool of water. They don't yet know the cause. The police are investigating. Either Daniel or I will post more news about it when we know more. Please use the "comment" line below to post a message to us. Thanks. We like reading mail.
Bro Steve:
One student, several from Alip's congregation, and several from the Pinangsia congregation, came to worship. We had a full house. Some of our members had to sit on the stairs. Colin preached. but (I'm sorry) no one took photos either before, during or after worship. I myself led singing, Marty and Santo (one of our members) served the Lord's Supper, Alip led the first prayer, Jerom (Alip's son) read the scripture, and Manto (Alip's brother) led the closing prayer. I thought they were happy. Manto and Hutasoit (Alip's congregation) said that we should gather at least once every 3 months. I told them that our Ruko is open every Sunday. We had snacks after worship and enjoyed each other's company for another hour.
Alip said in the announcements that his congregation helps the congregation in Jogyakarta and that Colin also helps them. They will have a WBS seminar and Marty and Alepson (preacher in Semarang, Central Java) will be the speakers in a one-day seminar.
Colin seemed better after taking his antibiotic. He said perhaps he had bronchitis like he got in the USA.
