We went to Joseph &
Francis’ church on Sunday, Solid Rock Worship Center. It was quite the experience! The first hour was singing, dancing, and a
lot of yelling and chanting…..essentially any way you were moved by the spirit,
you should just let it happen. Everyone
was so into it, it was really cool to see.
It’s NOTHING like church in the states so we were very happy that we
went. Then the last 2 ½ hours (you read
correctly…..the service was 3 ½ hours long) it was a combination of the pastors
& guest speakers preaching, prayers and songs from the children, bringing
up special guests, etc. They made us go
up in front of the whole congregation to say our names, why we were in Kenya,
etc. Sort of embarrassing, but everyone
was so excited we were there, shaking our hands, etc. It was extremely sweet.
After church, Joseph
invited us to come back to his house for chipates, which he cooked inside of
his tiny room. It was interesting to
see. He also bought pineapple
fanta….which is the most delish beverage of all time, if you haven’t had it. We came back & relaxed. A nice little Sunday.
The church from the outside. Sorry, no shots from inside. We didn't want to be the muzungo jerks taking photos during service.
