We did not make Sunday service due to a late curtain call and post performance gathering and then a very early wake-up from the grandchildren-"the sun's awake".<br /><br />I think this is part of a new renewall in the church. How do we take an extra holiday into account? Flexibility in times and days may be the answer. I don't think God decreed tha "Sunday"was the day.colinmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481891883585578504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29817490.post-8098732790073661242014-02-17T10:18:24.087-05:002014-02-17T10:18:24.087-05:00I was one asking of your whereabouts Nancy....you ...I was one asking of your whereabouts Nancy....you were all missed but a lovely chance to be our in the sunshine together.<br />I was thinking how even within families, 'family" changes...we enjoyed having my bachelor brother with us this weekend, and he enjoys always being welcomed back by our church family.<br />Our youngest families took to the road, and offered worship at one of our longterm care facilities on Sunday afternoon. I was touched that our Junior Choir families fit this into family day weekend. And I did notice more family around the nursing home this weekend<br />visiting...and so it should be.<br />There is no doubt in this busy world..."family" needs to be intentional.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791371242692378169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29817490.post-2702629095001518052014-02-17T08:55:30.581-05:002014-02-17T08:55:30.581-05:00We were one of those families who for the first Su...We were one of those families who for the first Sunday in many did not attend church yesterday, but took to the ski slopes. Our daughter has been teaching skiing for the last 4 weeks and we kept saying we would get out as a family. I was able to join her on Saturday but not my husband as he was dealing with church business (only day all trustees could make it to the bank together). Being a federal employee, my husband does not get Monday off (family day is provincial)... so, Sunday was our day. Our extended family told us that many of our church family asked after us, (we are so regular), which was a nice feeling, however we enjoyed being in God's playground as a family. The face of families has been changing for many years, and I like how at our church we have figured out a way to encourage life together no matter what shape or form. Enjoy your family!
