Wonderful Sunday

We had such a fabulous Sunday. Our ship has a church service on board every Sunday at 10am. Many crew members attend local churches on Sunday mornings, but there is always a church service on board for crew members to attend as well as guests. Many locals are invited to attend the church service each week, so it's always a well attended, powerful church service. Each Sunday service, a crew member is asked to be the host for the service and MC the morning. John was asked earlier in the week to be the host for the service! He was so honored to be asked! He did a really fantastic job welcoming the attendees, leading them into worship, introducing the speaker and closing out the service. Many people complimented him on a job well done including the director who said, "Thanks for your leadership John. You should be the host again soon." What a blessing for us to be able to use our giftings and talents for the Lord.

Later in the day, John and I, along with two friends decided to bake cookies for our captain, director and all of the department heads on board as a way to thank them for all of their hard work and leadership. We spent several hours baking 100+ cookies! What fun. We were so happy to be able to bless them in this way. What a wonderful day to spend the Sabbath.
