On Sunday, we gathered for worship and lunch at Sogipa, the athletic club where Waleska and I are members. Sogipa has several different facilities that the members can rent for family gatherings and meetings. We rented a shelter (in case it rained, which fortunately it didn't this time!) so we could all be together under one roof. About 50 of us gathered together for a time of singing, prayer, and scripture. I gave a lesson from Ephesians 4 about spiritual gifts and seeking the empowerment that God has given the church through Jesus Christ to minister to one another. We are trying to stimulate the church to go deeper into Scripture and into prayer concerning spiritual leadership. We then enjoyed a Brazilian-style barbecue lunch of smoked chicken and pork sausage. Some of us even got drawn into playing hoops (and I still have my shooter's touch!)
