We have been learning about Homiletics (writing sermons). At the end of the lesson we were told that we would each preach a mini sermon, on a subject of our choice the following morning. I had a bit of a panic about this (Dave was fine, he had done plenty of talks before). We only had the minimum of time to prepare, but God gave all of us a word to talk about, and actually it was OK. The worst bit was the Pastor assessing us at the end, on everything from appearance to verse jumping, to talking with an unvaried voice tone and much more. It was rather scary.
Last night we had a service at the base and Gideon played the drums again, he really listened to the other musicians, it was FANTASTIC
