It is almost dinner time on Wednesday evening here on the East Coast of Australia. My Saturday evening sermon writing has moved forward to Thursdays, so the printed service can get to those without email, If you have finished writing or know where you are going or just starting to think about your sermon for the week, come and join the Preacher Party. You may inspire someone with your comment or question.
