Sunday on St. Martin's

I thought I would have another attempt at posting in order to get used to the process and let you how our day has been.  The time of the posting yesterday was all wrong - I am not sad enough (although I am probably pretty sad) to be up in the middle of the night writing a blog.  I have corrected the location and hopefully the clock is now set right.  


It has been dry on St. Martin's today which is a welcome change from a lot of our recent weather.  You can see from my office window view that it was a bit overcast but not too bad.

This afternoon we (the local Methodists) had our special joint service (with Anglicans) called the "Covenant" which we always have at the beginning of the year.  All went well - it was challenging - and because of the calm weather there were no boating problems with folks coming from St. Mary's.

On the way home from the chapel I took a picture of the current state of our new island community hall construction.  The walls are beginning to grow and the floor plan is now visible.  Everyone here is very excited about the development and we hope the weather allows the project to be finished on time - it looks as if the timber frames are ready for joining together.  When it is finished it will make a big difference to island life.  An ongoing story which I may have to update!
