But it was a good one. As I’ve mentioned, we have some of our leaders here this weekend from the Bible Basics home office. The reason they chose this particular time was to participate in the celebration of Dr. Glen Solomon’s 50 years in the ministry. Dr. Solomon is president of Baptist Ministries of Honduras, the organization that has invited Bible Basics to be here and operate Radio HRGS.
The celebration began, theoretically, at 2:00 Saturday afternoon. We got there at about 1:45, expecting a packed house and looking for a good seat. It actually started at about 2:35. Not bad considering that we are on “island time” here. We found good seats and the house was packed soon after we got there. There were many tributes and lots of music. The mayor and the congressman each shared briefly. There was even a contingent from the Baptist church in La Ceiba, over on the coast. They brought their choir and, as always, did an outstanding job. This little video contains excerpts from several of the tributes as well as tastes of most of the songs sung that afternoon. I hope it gives some idea of the variety of worship music popular among islanders and a sense of what it’s like to attend an island church.
