Easter Services Part 1
Wow! What a way to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord! We had a combined Easter service yesterday in the village with the churches from Igekemaja and Fumagira. The building at Fumagira was packed, and the atmosphere was festive and exciting. By browsing through the crowd, I noticed that there were many visitors, with a total of approximately 350 in attendance.
The service began with some great singing provided by the choirs from both churches. Each choir sang two specials, and then children's choirs from each church sang several specials. Then there were several specials from individuals. Afterword, groups of children from each church recited memory verses. There was also much congregational singing. Are you getting the idea that the length of the service was of no concern for these dear African believers? At these special services, they make plans to spend the entire day at church.
