Presbytery, Orchestra Concert, and Church = A Lovely Weekend

Last Saturday morning, Mom and I drove to the church for Presbytery. I had to do slides for the church service that we had before Presbytery actually happened. It was very good. A young man named Brian Phillips preached on Called to Walk in Truth and Love. He read from Second John 4-6.

After the church service, we all had quick break and snacked for a bit. When the break was over, the elders and pastors began presbytery. It was rather interesting. I must be honest, I didn't listen to it the whole time because it was a tad uninteresting to me at times. At one point, all of us guests had to go into the offices at church so the men could talk about certain things we weren't supposed to listen to. It was pretty fun sitting in Ken's office with Mom, Mrs. Kidd, Lilly, Darby, Millie, Mrs. Crawford, Mr. Crawford, and Kevin. As Mrs. Crawford had said, "It's like we're on a long car ride going no where.".

After Presbytery was over, we cleaned up the church and put everything back to how it was supposed to be. We talked to some of the visitors from different churches for awhile and then left.

When Mom and I got home it was about 5:30pm. We quickly ate some supper, and then I drove (with Mom in the passenger's seat and Billy in the back) to Meti's house. Mom drove Meti, Billy, and I to The Franco American Heritage Center to see Mrs. Almquist and Kyle play in the Midcoast Symphony Orchestra. It was really cool that Kyle was playing in the orchestra! He was the youngest musician in the orchestra and got a special guest announcement along with two two other guests in the orchestra. :D Kyle and Mrs. Almquist had 20 people show up to listen to them. Needless to say, we were all proud of Kyle. Mrs. Almquist was especially proud.

Sunday morning we had church. :) A joy, as usual. Pastor Per's sermon was called "Your Thoughts of God Are Too Human". That title is a quote from Martin Luther.

After church, Shannon and Meti hung out in Augusta for the afternoon. Billy, Mom, Dad, and I watched a debate through Intelligence Squared. The debate was on whether or not Science refuted God. It was really interesting but I'm not sure where Dad found the actual video of the debate.
