Hi there,
I'm back for a quick update on today's church service. It seems that Friday and Saturday is the weekend around here, so no services on Sunday. This morning found me at Ma'adi Community Church at 09:30. It is outside under a huge tent on the grounds of St. John's Episcopal/Anglican Church - and I didn't get lost. I met Pastor Larry and Pastor Bill, who were both very welcoming. It was a lovely service with lots of new songs, but we ended with an old favourite "Great is Thy Faithfulness", which was wonderful to sing along to. It was closer to two hours than to one, but I think that time here is not as important. I signed up to a Cell group, which may or may not happen, since it is summer and many groups don't meet during the summer. Other than that, Mary Jean Crouch is passing my name along to another friend who I hope to connect with. Since it gets hot very early here, I didn't spend any more time outside, and caught up on emails and some reading. I also talked to Dale in Paris - it is cold and rainy there, so unless the weather breaks, he may not get to see the Air Show.
Tomorrow, I think I'll venture in the other direction to try my luck at not getting lost. I don't know what will be open since it is still the weekend, but I will let you know.
Oh yes, time zones - we are 9 hours later here. Call before noon in BC - Skype is free.
Love,
Laurel
