Settling Back in...

Well its crazy to think that I've already been back in Kilkeel for over two weeks now!! It has been a busy busy two weeks that has just flown by.

The final installment of Samuel and Sarah's wedding was brilliant! It was a great day to celebrate with family and friends. There were many that came for the variety concert that we held for Sarah on the evening of their wedding blessing. She really seemed to enjoy it and it was a great welcome into the community to her! So once again, I just want to say Congrats to Samuel and Sarah!!

It's also been busy helping them out to move into their new house. They have a nice wee house smack in the middle of Kilkeel, just walking distance from the high school. So I've been around trying to help them unpack and unwrap all the gifts...while at the same time trying to give them their space as they begin their new life together.

Also, this past weekend we had the opportunity to have another youth service at Mourne Presbyterian Church. It was a great evening!! I had the opportunity to preach again...so I spoke on Phil 3:1-11 going off of our theme that we used for Cafe one80 this year, which was "Live for what lasts!" If you would like to listen to the service, it should be posted here at some point in the near future. If not, I will try and post it within the next week or so, so watch this space!

Apart from all that, everything is slowing getting back to the norm. At the moment, exams are on at school, so that seems to be consuming much of what is going on with all the students revising (well should be revising!!). So by next week, we should be back into full swing of things and back to normal.

It was great to have the opportunity to be back in the States to visit and see family and friends. If I didn't get a chance to see you, sorry about that!!, but hopefully I will catch you next time :-). I continue to be very grateful for all your prayers and support. May we continue to keep our eyes on Christ!!

Yearning for Christ,
Jason
