JULY & AUGUST

Holiday fun ... to the Beach in WINTER

It’s that time of the year again and we took some holiday from ministry and spent some time away at the beach. Funny time to go and enjoy the beach we were all dressed in our Winter Woollies playing in the sand!!
Both Treyson and Tryston started taking steps between things on holiday and we had a grand time playing in the garden in the warm sunshine and walking and playing in the sand when the weather was not too chilly. They even had the chance to enjoy their first boat ride.

Finally the teeth are coming. Tryston got his first tooth on the 23rd July – wow they have really taken their time in showing themselves.

Daddy had a birthday and we had a great time celebrating with him while on holiday. The boys loved the wrapping paper and we had a special day together.

Well you will not believe it Treyson is up and walking even trying to kick the ball 29th July. And Tryston joined him on his little legs on August 6th it really does look quite funny having such little people up on their feet!

TRYSTON on his feets!!

TREYSON on his feets!!

We will say at the end of the winter that it was quite a winter!! We spent many a penny at the doctor as our boys really struggled with sickness. Praise the Lord we never ended up in hospital but all the same it has been a hard long haul to keep them well and fit. Many a nappy rash, runny nose, cough and temperature. What a time we have had.

Fun times in the Wilby house the boys are climbing up wanting to be up on the chair, never alone the two of them are always together. Washing time is great fun they love to get in and out and on top of the basket it’s a great play thing!

Ministry Memories
We had our children’s holiday club this month and what a load of fun they all had. The J-Life team were very much involved and we had many children come and learn about Jesus everyday.
The woman’s ministry is going well, Tan spoke at this quarter’s meeting on the Lord being your comfort. The whole meeting was lead with the theme. Is God your comfort or is CHOCOLATE? We ate yummy goodies and enjoyed a wonderful time of “feasting” around God’s word.
Our time has been filled with visitation of many folk in the church, mentorship and discipleship, attending seminars to encourage us as we lead others in the Lords work and encouragement in all areas of church growth. Wow ! it has been a stretch!
Our senor Pastor has been on sabbatical so Mark has been helping out with leadership in many other areas while he has been away. It has been a huge responsibility but a great time of spiritual, mental and emotional growth. It is great to see how the Lord grows one as you take the opportunities that he give you. We are praising the Lord for his special grace in our lives.

VERSE FOR ENCOURAGEMENT

Whatever you do, work at it with

all your heart, as working for the Lord.
