This morning I took taxi to nearby church, the service here is really different, as in:
- If you reach early (before 930am), you’ll join them in bible reading/memorizing, today is on Matt 13:24-30
- 30 minutes before service starts (9am), they’ll teach us how to sing today’s hymns, first we’ll learn the ‘do-re-mi’ part, then we’ll read the lyrics together, then only we sing the hymns together
- I notice the main service is full of older generation adults, wonder if there’s any youth service.
- The announcement comes after sermon, and after announcement the service is over, no alter call.
- Some of them continue to sit on their bench to pray, actually not some, A LOT of them, abit different from the culture I came from
- Even when Pastor asked them to pray, you can see all of them look super serious, if you’re wondering how I know, well .. hehe.
- First time visitor need to stand up man, but I didn’t, coz I was abit unsure if I’m in the right service since I’m the only young ppl there.
- They don’t collect offering, but there’s a offering box on the way out, people just put their offering box as they go out after service.
After church service, I walked to McD nearby for brunch, and walk back to hotel , almost lost on the way back hahah.
