Tonight, following devotions, we concluded in our traditional manner ... with communion under the beautiful night stars of Nicaragua.
Margaret Naylor, who has done an excellent job leading devotions, shared with us one final time. Included in her sharing was a humorous, and outstanding job summing up this past week. It brought us to laughter so hard, during her singing, that tears flowed from our eyes.
Following her devotion, we left our devotion meeting place inside the women's villa lounge, and went outside for communion.
Cleve Curry led us in singing beautiful hymns and songs, including "I Love You Lord", "Sanctuary" and "When I Survey the Wonderous Cross". Then following a brief sharing message, we joined together in communion.
Joining with us were our three orphan boys and their house mother Jackie. We were honored to have their presence.
After the words of institution, one by one, while the guitar was playing, we came forward to remember the last supper of Jesus Christ, doing such in remembrance of Him.
Then we closed with song, and a special prayer for our teen boys and Jackie, laying their hands upon them and asking God to be with them, to protect them each day of their life, and for God to continue to grow the boys into strong men of God.
The service concluded a great day, and an outstanding week!
