God is good!
My last posting was in October. Even though eight months have passed by in a flurry of activity, our ministry has been going strong. This hiatus from blogging was inadvertent. From November I had taken a long-term substitute teaching opportunity while continuing to start a church in Sunnyvale by God's grace and mercies.I found that the ministry in Sunnyvale is a deep fervent love. When I think of each of the people in my community, I smile. What a great joy there is knowing and meeting these precious people! As I see their faces in my minds eye, I am overwhelmed with how blessed I am to be part of something so significant and yet so tender.
Puppets in the Park continues. We have larger crowds. When I arrive with my sons in the park, I am lugging behind me a portable puppet stage and suitcase where puppets Ben and Akosh rest until the puppet show. The children and their caregivers sometimes announce "Puppet show" and gather before I have a chance to set up the stage. Everything is low key. There is nothing fancy. But we have fun and laughs.
Diane Lyall, the Children's Director at Trinity has been faithfully helping on Mondays at DeAnza Park with story time and crafts. She is enthusiastic and has a deep love for the children who come.
As summer vacation begins, Puppets in the Park will be covering more character topics in line with the Fruits of the Spirit described in Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Please pray with us that we will have a great harvest with much fruit.
Later in June, on the 24th we will be at DeAnza park with a potluck and singing, talk, puppet show and lots of fun activities from 11:30-1:30. We're calling it Summer Sundays in the Park so that residents can a fresh sip of the Spirit with Wellspring.EFC.
See you there!
