New Worship Location
Written on Oct 2, 2019
At celebration times here, our internet and firewall circumventing app become very difficult. We have been struggling for a week. It is the 70th anniversary for the founding of modern C, a big deal. Please remember us during this time. We have been told to stay home quite a bit and we are, but there is no real reason to feel that this is necessary except that there are many people out and about.
Our international church was told in May that we had to find a new location by the end of July. That was extended to the end of September. Until last Sunday we still did not have a new venue. We were told on the first Sunday in October we should just visit other churches. (Where? This is more difficult to asses than it would be in some places.) However, last Sunday we were told that they had found another venue that will house the close to 800 members. Tomorrow (Thursday, as we have a vacation break) we are going to bike to the new locale to make sure we can find it. It is 5 miles away. The old location was only 2 miles away, so I hope that I can access it via bike. Although there are subway and bus connections, it would involve quite a bit of walking and, although I am better, walking is still not real good. We very much enjoy this church. About 1/3 to 1/2 are international students to the universities in our area, many from Africa. The preaching is good. We are so thankful that another site has been found. Thank you for remembering us in this process.
(I will post soon as I have internet access with some fun quotes from recent essays.)
