As usual, we had a quiz about places in the sun:
Perhaps not surprisingly, the quiz was won by a team made up of Steve Davies and his two sons, who have done quite a bit of travelling in their lives! (They are recently returned from Mozambique, where Steve has been teaching at the Bible college in Maputo, and he has previously worked in Ecuador, Egypt and Swaziland, though the family is now in Scotland and looking for pastoral work as they consider the boys’ secondary education for the next few years.)
We also had a song with a decided Caribbean flavour, reminding us:
‘We’ve been waiting now for quite a while
And at last the time has come
No more working for a week or two
We’ve got a lovely place in the sun
But when it’s over and it’s time for home
There’s some faces looking glum
They are wishing that they could have
A longer time in the sun
It might seem like a paradise
But there’s a promise for each one
God offers us so much more
An endless life in His Son
So enjoy your holiday
And remember when it’s done
God’s promise of a brand new life
Is an endless time in the Son.’ (‘A Place In The Son’, Garry Turner)
