Sunday

I'm still working on the photo situation. For now, I will just continue blogging.

Sunday morning, of course, we went to our sister church in Radom: Christian Fellowship. It was wonderful to walk into a room full of familiar faces ... and some new ones. We really do love these people! More hugs, kisses, smiles, and greetings came our way. One special surprise was that Szymon was there; he had come home earlier from Romania than we had expected!

Marek led worship, while Szymon played bass and Daniel Snyder played electric guitar. Yes, 'little' Daniel Snyder is growing up and is quite a good electric guitar player. We sang familiar American worship songs in Polish, with a verses of English sprinkled in: 'Mighty to Save', 'Blessed Be Your Name', and 'Holy is the Lord', to name a few. I am so thankful to have learned the Polish alphabet and phonetic sound combinations. At the very least, I can sing the words, even if I don't know what each one means!

Pastor Tytus is on a much needed sabbatical, but he is still at church each week. Steve Snyder preached, but Tytus did share about the conference in Warsaw he attended last week (led by Andzrej Bajenski and others). It was the 90-year anniversary celebration of the Church of Christ/Christian Fellowship church in Poland. Pastors from all over Poland came for this conference. I will share more about that in another post. I will also share later about Steve's message. My notes are in the other room where people are sleeping right now ;)

After church, we took about a 20 minute break for tea and coffee, and then Szymon shared about his missions experience in Romania. It was very meaningful to us to be there for that. He's had quite a year, and we enjoyed seeing pictures and video of his experiences, and hearing the things God has taught him.

Well ... my battery is running low on this lap top. Sorry to leave you hanging again, but the computer cord is in the same room as my notes from Sunday. I must sign off!

More later - Blessings to you all.
