Mid-week review - week 46

From my personal view-point in the middle of the week.
Now we have passed the middle of October and the darkness is getting more and more heavy outdoors. But indoors there is light early in the morning and late in the evening from people preparing for the Latvian Salvation Army 20th anniversery.
The builders are having a hard race with time to make it possible to use the entrance to Riga first corps for the hundreds of people who will attend the two services on the celebration day, the 18th of November. The choirs are struggling to have the music in order for the great day. So also the tamburines and the brass band.

Greetings are coming in from different people to the celebration. The social institutions in Gothenburg have bought a flute, which is on the wishing list for a cadet at the Training School. The Band from Lidköping in Sweden is sending their greeting: "The Salvation Army Band in Lidköping is sending a greeting to your 20th anniversary the 18th of November. We remember with great thankfulness our visit to RIGA during Easter time 1993 with services in the Hall, open air music and a visit to the prison for women."
It will be an exciting day with many guests and a full program.

Last weekend Ruth and I were in Fristad, outide Borås in Sweden and had a weekend at the local Mission Church. My sermon is recorded and you can listen to it here (in Swedish). If you want to listen to the cornet trio by three generations, son, father and grandfather, you can see and listen here.
During the weekend the congregation made an offering for the work in Latvia. The result from the church was more than 10.000 SEK ($1.500). Great result!
