Inuktitut words to "Jesus Loves Me, This I Know"
As John 3 says... "the wind blows where it pleases", and that would describe the first week of June in this ministry. I had no sooner told someone I felt like I was in a comfortable grooooove, when the Sprit moves in powerful ways. One way was witnessing beautiful healing right before my eyes; women forgiving themselves for issues in their past - all of which they had no control over at the time. A second was the priviledge of leading worship in Inuktitut. My Inuit friend, Zipora, said "it's time" and I was recently asked to replace the Anglican pastor in worship at the disabled home this afternoon. It was hard! My other friend present at the service when I asked her how it went said "you have to start sometime, and most know the words I was saying anyway", so again - between her grace, and God's grace, many people got to hear the Gospel. Thanks be to God!
I'm known around town as the Moravian pastor on bicycle. People actually stop on the road for a bicyclist and a pastor to cross the street. It has been a tremendous way to 'clear' my head. The Post Office knows me as the one who actually inquired why "guaranteed mail" to the U.S. cost $13., and "not guaranteed" is 50 cents. Huge laughable discussion that day as I told her "she was a witness that I sent it" (for 50 cents).
The Labrador Cup is in town this week - so I'm once again immersed in the game of soccer. It's kind of a mix of indoor soccer and ice hockey - 'checking' is allowed. But the tournament is really about fellowship among people of all the Labrador communities and that is exciting to be a part of. The people here are also golf addicts. I guess it's a short season.
Outside of the plans being laid for the 2nd Annual Moravian Music Workshop coming up, end-of-year picnics and sing-a-longs, youth fundraising for camps, all is calm. One sunny day will bring people out with their flip-flops, shorts, and tank tops on. The temperature may be 35-40, but no worries. I'm wondering if they'll even see a summer this year?
I am most grateful for your intercessions for these people. Many are seeking Christ in a new way, and hearing the living Truth is critical. God be with you till we meet again. Love, glenna
