We hadn't brought any good clothes, but Martha assured us that jeans and tee-shirts were good for her church, so we went with her. She really wanted us to go, as she talks about the Good News
Church and Pastor Smiley a lot.
We knew it would be very different than what we are used to (music provided by a rock band), but we enjoyed it anyway. To be honest, I did not like the rock band. All the songs they did sounded the same to me - same beat, almost the same melody, etc. I don't think the loud guitars, etc., invite the spirit, but I have heard Christian rock that was not bad.
The pastor gave a pretty good sermon though about Saul/Paul. He had a little different way of looking at parts of the story, but it was interesting. They also had a baby to baptize, a child to baptize, and a few older children who were declaring their faith of Jesus (making a commitment to follow.)
When we got home, Martha fixed some spinach omelets that were wonderful, with sausages, etc. Very good lunch. We spent the rest of the afternoon either just talking or napping. I was reading whenever it was quiet. We really enjoyed the quiet afternoon and evening.
