Hi friends. Thanks for checking in. We headed to Yazoo on Friday for a short visit and check in with parents. Today about 1 p.m. we headed to Hodge. We allowed 3 1/2 hrs to get here and that’s just what it took. We planned on meeting the pastor at the church at 4:30 and he was waiting on us along with the sound guy. We unloaded and attempted to patch in to the house sound. This saves us much time and effort when it’s possible. The program was set for 6 p.m. and unfortunately, by 5:15 we abandoned that attempt after having difficulty matching up and moved in all my speakers and equipment. It was a rush job but was all in place about 10 minutes before the program was to start.
The pastor, as well as the few adults in attendance were very disappointed in the turnout. They had gone door to door to hand out flyers as well as adds in the local paper and posters around this small town. It had little effect on the children in the area and of course you can always blame lack of kids attendance on the parents. Anyway a total of about 20 tonight with 3 children. The adults tonight were very kind and were disappointed their efforts yielded such small numbers.
Pray for Hodge Baptist Church and its pastor, Rev. Norris Curry.
I’ll be doing both services tomorrow and will give you an wrap up tomorrow night.
Blessings,
John
