Today was World Communion Sunday at our church,
First United Methodist Ann Arbor. It's like the culmination of the past month for us. Two weeks ago we had a Rwandan guest, Vincent Karenzi, at our church with us. He reflected on how church was "so quick." In Rwanda, church is a couple hours long and Vincent's comments implied the congregations there get more "involved" during worship, too. Our Ann Arbor church 9:30 Sunday service is pretty European-style, "folded hands" type of worship. The first Sunday in September included an informational meeting about the Kenya mission trip that will go in Feb. 2016 to Meru, Kenya. Today was the day to turn in applications for that, and now Isaac, 16, is signed up! (He'll be 17 when he's on the trip.) To tie it all together, it is fun to note that the dozen or more national flags in our sanctuary belong to Ruth Ann's parents. They stayed at the church late on Saturday night to get them displayed in the sanctuary (after the choir "Caberet" fundraiser).
