Recently, my husband and I attended a church meeting in another city and found it quite different than what we were used to.
First, people broke up into small groups to read that morning’s Bible verses and to pray over them.
Next, a speaker gave a talk on those verses and after the message, there were small groups again so that the people there could discuss their feelings about the sermon. The small groups of about five to ten people were friendly and non-threatening.
Translation was provided in three different languages – English, Spanish, and Chinese – so the meeting was very noisy and animated and included a lot of excited singing.
Although this new way of worship seemed strange to us, when we stopped being bothered by the noise, we enjoyed our time there.
