We returned back to a regular format this week at Mosaic.  Unfortunately because of sickness, we were a bit shorthanded when it came to staff.  We had a good group (19) of students show up.  As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I am starting to see some real growth among some of our students.  Several who sang in the choir on Sunday, really surprised me by being engaged in the discussion tonight.  That is a nice change of pace.  Those same students sang out during the worship as well.

Before we gathered for Mosaic, our bank held a customer appreciation day.  This is race weekend in Martinsville.  Believe it or not, it is something that the entire region looks forward to.  Yes, it is a pain to get around on such a weekend, but these loyal racing fans bring a great deal of money to our struggling economy.  Sundays are interesting because several of our congregation work the race in some way.  Because the race is in town, and our bank sponsors one of the Nationwide Series cars, they had their car at the bank.  The backup driver enjoyed having his picture taken with James. They were also giving away free popcorn, drinks and cookies and other assorted stuff. I’ll be away this weekend, but I’m sure Pam will be taking pictures of several of the displays throughout Martinsville and I’ll post those Sunday night.

Until then — Carp Diem!  (Seize the Day!)
