Church

Some of us went to church with Dr. Wardwell this morning. It’s an Anglican church named St. Augustine’s with a small congregation, a mix of older people and younger couples with kids. It was a big building, tall, with cool stained glass windows. We did a lot of responsive reading. Some of the songs I knew, like “How Great is Our God,” which they called “The Splendour of the King.” They sing Chris Tomlin songs in England! The kids came to the front to lead one song, “The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock,” which I hadn’t sung in years. Even the adults were doing the motions.

I heard that the sermon was good—I was too tired to pay complete attention. My eyes kept closing, and I had to force them open. Afterward there were drinks and cookies (which they call biscuits) in the lobby. They were good.

I liked that church well enough, but I’ll probably try out some others the next few weeks.
