Mike - We went to our first Sunday morning service today. Last week we were still unable to attend due to our dutch elm disease...
The service was great! They have two services, one at 8am, and one at 10am, and they go for about two hours each. WOW - they are extremely loud! I honestly think the speakers are going to blow every time I'm in there. Take the youth service at Centre Street, and multiply it by 10 - HONESTLY! We were warned - but it's great. We love it. The worship was African style (kind of Gospelypso), and Pastor Jasper spoke in English with a Kiswahili translator so we were able to understand what was going on. We are learning more Kiswahili as we go - although I'm pretty sure everyone is making fun of us. Pastor Jasper allowed us to speak for a bit in front of the congregation for both services, where we shared a testimony and expressed how excited we are to be here. It was vonderful goot fun!!
