Sunday worship
August 30. Mwankenja took us to a local Lutheran church just off the road to Tukuyu for Sunday worship. The service, in Swahili with Mwankenja translating for us, lasted about two hours. There were perhaps 300 in attendance. Some of the offerings are made in kind rather than cash, and those are auctioned off immediately after the service. One of the parishoners bought a live chicken that had been contributed, and gave it to us as a gift. It will be dinner later in the week.

Fred, it is very interesting to hear the length of worship-I will pass this on to worship and music for consideration, but don't hold your breath for any major moves in this direction upon your return. Good luck with the chicken--many years ago Karen received a smoked ham from a parish in northern Maryland where she was supplying, it was delicious but it was not alive when we received it. I can only imagine what the view was like to see that mountain come into view--did you get one of those out of the window pictures? You are both very much in our prayers, take care and God Bless!
