I looked out the window before retiring for bed. The sky in the west was still auburn down by the horizon, blending in to the turquoise of early night. There was still plenty of light to be able to see your way around.
I'm going to be in Birmingham for the longest day of the year this year, so I will have a good comparison to offer to home.

To Your Table
Here is a song that we have been using during the distribution of the cup in the service;
To Your Table
As surely as this bread and cup we see with our eyes
You have made us sons of God by one sacrifice
We who once were far away You have now brought near
Children at Your throne of grace lose their guilty fears
To Your table we will come rejoicing
In the goodness of our God
Our salvation rests on Your Anointed
Not the deeds that we have done
As surely as we taste this bread and wine with our tongue
You will feed our soul with meals divine, till You come
You provide our daily bread, all we have from You
Hungry stranger, come and find; here is real food
To Your table we will come rejoicing
In the goodness of our God
Our salvation rests on Your Anointed
Not the deeds that we have done
To Your table we will come delighted
You’ve forgiven all our sin
Great Your kindness that we are invited
By the Lord to enter in

Visitors from afar
We had an excellent Lord's Day service yesterday.
How good it is to be invited into God's presence, to worship together as a body, to be shaped into His image through our worship! It was a blessing as well to worship with a couple families and a single fellow from Fort St. John, whom we have known for a long time, and whose presence causes general rejoicing.
There we were before the service, being thankful for God's good gifts to us, when the door opens at the back, and in walks Dean Helleckson, wheeling Antonia, and being trailed by Azalea and Isaiah. We have been praying for Antonia for years now, and her arrival in our church was a complete suprise to us, and a delight. The Lord has brought her a long way back from the brink. She can communicate with people now, and you can tell that there is a whole lot more going on inside her head that she is not able to express outwardly. When she heard my name, she remembered it, since I have apparently sung to her quite often in the last couple years. So she made a funny about it... excellent! Antonia is in there indeed!
We had almost everybody over afterward to our house, and had an excellent evening of visiting and feasting. What a delight! The lines have fallen to us in pleasant places indeed.
