Home church worship

We slept late again and had a late Breakfast/lunch of pancakes made by Rosalie. The highlight of the morning was the table debate between Pieder and Andrew. I had to get our things packed for tomorrow’s departure so I was in and out. It was centered on Pieder’s giving in to the children’s request to see a video this evening. At least that is what I think it was about among other things dealing with being a liberal. Afterward, we continued packing and preparing the barn area for the home church in the afternoon. Several couples came and three times as many children. The service was the shortest they have ever had. It was led by one of the men in the group. He focused on Galatians chapter 4 and dealt with the truth that we are heirs of God through Christ. It was uplifting, but we both noticed that none of the wives or girls made any comments in the discussion. But then again, neither did most of the men. Regardless there was a big carryin buffet and many games for the children. Evelyn and I just sat outside planning to watch the children swim but strangely enough none of them did. Everyone was gone home shortly after 8, and we began to watch the promised movie, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”, the same play the children were in Friday. Of course it was more complete and more colorful. We went to bed directly after it was over.
