Day 5: Bathurst, NB

For Father’s Day, I got to spend some time with my family, including my father-in-law. We went to the Sunday school and morning service at Gospel Light Baptist Church. After a quick lunch, I rushed back into town for the 2:00 pm worship service at Assemblee Evangelique Baptiste Nepisiguit. I was invited to speak for about 10 minutes following the sermon. It was good to be back to the church after visiting last summer. I think I probably went beyond my allotted time, but felt that my words on “The Passion of the Church” and the PrayerPaddle were well-received. Although my ability to follow a sermon in French is quite pitiful, the French praise songs on Powerpoint were quite a blessing.

Although it was a day to rest, the evening did end up somewhat long and stressful as I worked on getting all my stuff rearranged and packed to head out away from Bathurst. Logistical arrangements are coming together for the next few days, though the weather is not looking very summer-like. Problems at work back in Mississippi also came up that will have to be dealt with. And I’m praying for a quick recovery to full health for Kevin Vance before he comes up in a few days.
