A fairly quiet Sunday compared to some over the last few weeks.
At 9am and 11am services I didn’t preach. Instead Anne gave an excellent talk about Swindon Street Pastors. This was well received and people found it interesting. I know Anne had a long conversation after the service with a church member who is a former police officer.
During the 11am service 5 new Stephen Ministers were commissioned, And it was a privilege to take part in this.
After 11am service one of our friends came to me and said “You know how you were joking that it’s a shame David Calhoun didn’t have a large American car or pickup truck? Well this afternoon your dream has come true. Here are the keys to my truck, have a drive around in it.”
So I drove around in this large, 5 litre V8 pickup truck (Japanese but who is splitting hairs) with a very large grin on my face.
Anne and I would have gone for a longer drive but just after lunch another friend called offering to take us out on Lake Norman as it was a nice afternoon. So we drove the truck to the lake and then went out on a boat for an hour or so. How unlike Sunday afternoons at home.
After returning the truck home safely, the three of us went to another friend’s house for dinner. We had such a fun evening and – NO BARBECUE! Delicious crab cakes and shrimp instead. Washed down with a glass of Biltmore Chardonnay.
A lovely day.
