Today's Bible verse is John 3:16. It will be the verse that is woven through all we do today from the English lessons to devotion/small group time, to worship. As my (Lisa) small group met this morning we broke the verse down into fragments and discussed each piece individually and related it to our lives. We then took the whole verse and summarized it in our own words with our own understanding. When is the last time you really thought about this verse? It is one that is so familiar that we often say it without considering its meaning. We concluded that "God loves us, wherever we're from and whoever we are, enough to sacrifice His son for us, even for those who might not even know Him yet. So, we must share this news with those who don't know Him so they can have life eternal too."
Jill handed out her bracelets as the campers arrived yesterday and Albrecht was SO pleased. He thought it was a wonderful idea. Today I see many wearing theirs.
It is now 3:00pm here, time for our afternoon (nach mittag) snack. It is very common in Germany to have this time for snack. Today we are having authentic German cakes baked by the ladies of the Methodist Church. I wish I could bring some back, but they would spoil, so we will eat your piece for you. Tschus.
