Well Sunday is nearly over so we thought we'd update you on our day.
We split into two teams for church today, 2 services each. Sarah, Mandy, Katy, Chris and Revd Stacia went to Stanyard Creek and Stafford Creek. Al, Rev.d Mark, Caitlin, Tom, Tim, and Roo went to Nicholl's Town and Mastic Point where Rae and Ruth joined the rest team at Mastic Point so got off lightly with only 1 service.
Sarah was Preaching at Stanyard Creek and did fabulously!! only 2 locals turned up though which made it very personal intimate service. She preached on Praying like Jesus and gave a brilliant insight into how, why,where, when and what Jesus prayed, giving those who heard it great insight into the spiritual life of Jesus in a way that we hadn't heard before. Mandy was preaching at Stafford Creek to a congregation of 4 locals, we all sang out to God. Mandy preached on disciples and why people don't become disciples and how God called her. It was a great sermon and she summarised the message in poetry! She really needs to publish her poems - you should hear her!
We all did Sunday lunch Andros style each at their home stay. Sarah, Al and Rachael had craw fish!!! After an afternoon rest we gathered for swimming (a long awaited reward for hard work). The beach is just ten minutes walk and it only took a few seconds before everyone was in the water. The water is warm and clear; it provides a great environment for diving under the waves to observe the fish. Even in the shallows there are are plenty of fish to swim with. Mandy came back with a baby conch (which she returned to the sea I add) and with Chris an underwater video of fish.
Back to home stays for a good nights sleep in preparation of our outreach tomorrow morning.
Al, Mandy and Sarah

Hi folks,
Nice to see the internet problems have been overcome and to get updates on all you are doing.
What fantastic experiences you are all having! Andros sounds very different from Nassau but it sounds like you still have a busy few days ahead! We used your prayer requests at Formby Methodist yesterday and continue to remember you all in prayer.
Well done Al, Sarah and Mandy on your services - remember, where two or three are gathered together.. God is in the midst.
Looking forward to sharing in all your memories and experiences (and perhaps some Caribbean worship?) when you get back.
God bless,
Carol Shanks
