Hi everyone,
Today was another beautiful day in
California! After our night at Ecclesia Christian Fellowship Church in San Bernardino we had the
privilege of singing at the morning church service and being welcomed by the wonderful
congregation there. I think I can speak for the whole choir when I say that we
were blessed by the congregation!
After
saying goodbye San Bernardino, we made our way to Manhattan Beach, and let
me just say: it was stunning. This was our first glimpse of the ocean! We had a
couple hours to walk around the beautiful, touristy beach town and grab
something to eat. Considering that it was 80 degrees (compared to the 15 degree
Illinois weather when we left) it was nice to get to spend time on the beach
and in the ocean and in the salty air. Finally, though, it was time to travel
on to Rock Covenant Church...not before gracing the pedestrians of Manhattan
Beach with an impromptu street concert, though J
Rock Covenant Church: another
amazing, hospitable church that we had the pleasure of worshiping with. Before
we sang, we got to rest a little bit in the preschool playground area that the
church is connected to. It was nice to put our feet up in the shade and enjoy the beautiful day.
The
concert/time of worship was full of energy and I believe that a good time was
had by the choir and the audience. We were definitely blessed by their
participation (and potluck dinner!) and I hope that they were blessed by us.
Meeting some of the people after the service during dinner was incredibly
enjoyable. The couple people that I got to talk to were very king and welcoming,
especially when they welcomed us into their homes for the night. I cannot speak
for the experience of the other members of the choir, but my home-stay experience was
incredible. Our gracious host, Heather, was sweet and was nice enough to open her home to
us. We are so thankful for her beautiful home and the chance to take showers!
God is so
good, and I am excited to see what he has in store for the rest of the tour. Goodnight,
California!
