Calvary Chapel

Today is Sunday and we went to church at "Calvary Chapel" which operates from a building formerly occupied by a nightclub/restaurant. Marlene has a "crush" on the young senior pastor (along with most of the other female volunteers here), so it is a favourite church to visit for us. The young pastor, who is also an excellent preacher, has been on the mainland writing a book for the last six weeks, and he was supposed to be back today. He was delayed so you can imagine Marlene's disappointment. Calvary is a non-denominational congregation and very casual. In fact it would be hard to find anyone on the island who wears a suit to church, including the pastors.

After church we went to a Christian bookstore to pick up a couple of items, but otherwise it is a football Sunday. The five hour time difference allows us to get the football out of the way well before dinner time which is 7:00pm. We are receiving participants again this weekend, so many volunteers are staying around the building.

The weather today is cooler, around 78/79 degrees, pleasant for many things, but few people around the pool. My daily trip to the hot tub was direct.
