Even though tonight's service had to be canceled because of the bans on public gatherings, all was not lost. Mike has decided that instead of canceling the service, it will just be rescheduled for the start of the co-op school year.
What this means for us is that Scott, Ron, and I got to meet today with the students for some extra music practice. We practiced our two hymns and even did a couple rounds of Holy, Holy, Holy in four-part harmony. Then we moved on to the 5 contemporary songs that had been chosen and got to run through all of those multiple times. Scott was able to offer some help to Cam on the drums and to David on his mandolin. :) It was fun to hear the songs all come together so quickly. After we'd run through the songs, Ron helped one of the girls practice a skit that she'd be doing in the program -- a conversation between God and a teenage girl who just isn't interested in giving her whole life to him. (The skit will be used as part of a non-monetary offering.)
I'm excited that we got to be part of the planning and practicing for this event even though we won't be able to be part of the service itself. We've asked Mike to email us when the date of the service draws nearer so that we can be praying for him and the students. Their hope is to encourage this really diverse group of foreigners to draw together in unity around the theme of One Faith, One Hope, One Lord.

I am so glad you were able to continue to work with students on this project. I was feeling very sad that after having the children's musical cancelled, you wouldn't be able to do this either. Thank you Lord! And thanks, Mike!
I wish you could be there for the service, but this is definitely the next best thing. Yay God!
