Church :)

Today we went to Watoto Church! It is a huge church here in Uganda that speaks English and I think it was made famous because of the Watoto Children’s choir. It is a choir of kids who travel the US and all over the world singing songs and dancing to raise money for the Watoto orphanage here in Uganda! Anyways the choir doesn't make an appearance at church every week but the adult choir that does sing is awesome! I love how worship here is happy and upbeat! There is always dancing, swaying and jumping! I love to see the passion that the people of this church have for the Lord it is so encouraging.

 

A word from mom:

As we arrived at Watoto we were greeted with open arms. The church is outdoors with a covering over head and it seats about 3,000. There are 3 services. The worship time was awesome! Of course, I always get choked up when I’m in another country and I realize how big the body of Christ is and that it knows no national boundaries! Today we even sang some of the same songs for worship that we do back home. They had a choir and musicians playing guitars, drums, ect. like we do at Grace.  The pastor spoke about parenting and that it is a high calling of God to be a parent. The same sermon could have been preached in the US. It is interesting to hear that Uganda has many of the same struggles that we do with technology, TV, computers, schools, and raising their children as well.
