Church in Galmi

What can one say about church at Galmi?  It is upbeat, it has flashing lights, it has a preacher (or 2 or 3), it has offerings (or 2 or 3 or 4), it has lots of music, it has multiple languages, people are spontaneous and it does last more than one hour.

Church in Galmi is essentially fun and interesting.  The flashing lights refers to the state of the electrical power as it fluctuates between being on or off.  They don't stop because the power is flashing, they just continue with their worship.  Nothing is going to stop them from fullout joyous praise. 

So far there has always been more than one offering.  There is, of course, the usual offering like any other church, but then there are other ones.  People will come up and express a praise item to celebrate.  Then the offering basket gets put up front and the music starts.  People can then come up, if they want, to put money in the basket so they can participate in the celebration of praise.  If people like the music, or the singing, they will give money to that specific performer.  This is usually done by pressing money to the forhead of that particular performer they like.  The money then falls to the floor and then is gathered for the collection.  All of this is very unique and intriguing.

Todays service went from 9:00 am to 12:30.  I can't say I felt tired or bored, even though I did not understand most of what was said.
