Our first Sunday at MRBC…what a special day. The boys attended Sunday School at 9.30, and then at 10.30 was the service. It was quite well attended and Nick preached on "A Man after God's own Heart" from 1 Samuel 13, applying David's desire to please God to where the church should be aiming. After the service Nick and I went and stood at the back to shake hands with people as they came out, but no one exited! Everyone stayed for a cup of tea and bite to eat and chatted. There were approximately 45+ people in attendance and they seemed to appreciate Nick's message. We had an invitation to Rene and Bronwyn's house for lunch which we heartily accepted. Bron had done an awesome lamb roast with roasted butternut, mixed veggies, green beans, a sweet potato variety called "kumara", garlic bread, roast potatoes and gravy. She had also baked a zucchini chocolate cake - with grated zucchini! Delicious. And they have a pet rabbit who is toilet trained. Our 4.30 service was great too. Nick had asked me to share my testimony which I did although I was quite nervous and made a faux pas or two. No matter. Nick shared his too and then a bit of a message in which he choked up towards the end.
