Sunday Service on the 23rd of April 2023
Dani_in_Kenia, 14:45h
On Thursday, the 13th of April 2023, I met evangelist Evans who is responsible for ELCK Teachers, which is just 1.5 km far from my home place. We agreed that I would assist the church in the ministry of children and youth from the 23th of April 2023 on.
Therefore, I was teaching Sunday school on the 23th of April 2023. I taught about the “Lost Sheep”. In the beginning of the lesson, we were searching for some “lost sweets”.
My Godchild escorted me to the church and we attended the service which was led by Pastor Paul Ngugi.
It was a very long service: two child baptisms, a blessing of marriage for a bride and a groom and the Lord’s Supper.
After the service, I met the elders of the church and we discussed my ideas for the church. The greatest challenge was that the church has only one room and therefore, it is not possible to teach two different age groups at the same time in one classroom. I was requesting them to build at least a small shelter outside, to separate the children in two groups. The elders told me that I would think about that idea.
