Sunday Morning Services (May 10, 2009)

There were 115 people attending! The following is the composition of the crowd: 89 members and 26 visits. The members were made up by 60 adults, 12 teenagers, and 17 children. The visits were made up by 20 adults, 3 teenagers, and 3 children. Out of the 26 visits, 8 are members from other congregations who may end up placing their membership with us.

The Sunday School crowd was a little lower than the Worship's. However still many people attended. This time I presented a contrast between Eros Love and Agape Love. Participation was high. Lots of comments and nodding of heads as the points were presented. Some of the young couples who are dating were specially interested. The singles did'nt comment much, but I am sure they really profited.

The sermon was delivered by trainee David Alvarado. David happens to be dating my youngest, Rebeca. He did an excellent job. I am not exagerating. He actually overdid me. His presentation was so professional, with Power Point, Pictures, Videos, and Text. He went out of his way to rent a video projector (We decided afterwards that the church will pay for this). One of the videos drove the point home very effectively. The crowded was touched. The title of the presentation was "The Power of the Parents Influence". The text used was Ephesians 6.1-4. David is a second year Business Administration students, who is paying his own way through college. His dad is a cab driver, no a member yet. His mother is a member here. She must have been proud of her son, and Rebeca, my daughter too.

The singing was led by Daniel Delgado, bank teller, single. Daniel demonstrated a special ability with his voice. He motivated the crowd to sing. He used the same equipment David had rented. So it worked out great, because everybody was able to read the words on the screen.

Carlos Hernandez presented the announcements. He was in charge of the last prayer too. His prayer was special in that he thanked the Lord for David's presentation. This is kind of unusual. I encouraged him to continue to do so.

What else? Oh, the contribution: $327.
