Sunday Worship

This morning we went to church with Andy and Rebecca DesRoches and family. The DesRoches are CBM staff here in Nairobi. Andy is in leadership development and teaches at a college outside of Nairobi. Rebecca is a high school math teacher at Rossland Academy. Their two teenage children also attend Rossland Academy.

Andy and Rebecca worship with a small group of people at St. Julian's Centre where there is a chapel. St. Julian's Centre is an Anglican retreat centre located in a beautiful setting 27 km. north of the city. This centre was built in 1951 by Sir Micheal and Lady Wood, founders of Flying Doctors.

It seemed surreal to light the 2nd Advent candle in such a luscious green setting.

After church, we went to the River Cafe for another wonderful lunch!

I found it very moving to read that you lit the 2nd Advent candle as it was Donald who lit the 2nd candle at our church here at home. And with Grandma Shaw watching. Glad you are home safely. See you soon!
