Sunday morning began with breakfast with the college interns that are working with the tutoring program. Andrew, our primary contact and my 1980's middle school youth grouper, led us in a morning devo time before worship.
The worship time went from 10-12ish and was nicely done. It had a nice relaxed feel like ACEFC. The worship band was tasty and laid down some nice gospel influenced music. There are refugees from the Congo in Africa, so some of the songs were in French? Congolese? Very cool.
This is an extremely missional church planted about 15 years ago. It is encouraging to see the possibilities. We took communion in a circle, (like our candlelight service).
For lunch we went home with host families and enjoyed a meal in a home setting. A nice change up from the large group. In the late afternoon we had orientation in preparation for Kid's Bible Clubs and tutoring.
After dinner we did our first Kid's Bible Club. There was about 20 kids of various ages. We did kickball, dodgeball, singing, Caleb and Mike's Moses/Batman lesson, and snacks. Not a bad start. Three girls went to try to do double dutch, but got denied access.
We came back and wrapped it up. We're going to try some different things tomorrow night. The AC is great and the beds comfortable. The schedule is full and the 11pm lights out should be easy to work with.
