Sunday was special--worship at Kaneshie Presbyterian Church. Everyone is excited to be there and dressed to the nines. Many men in traditional Ghanian dress--wrapping multiple yards of fabric around the body in a kind of one-shouldered sari-like effect. The women have bright two-piece dresses. The whole event is an EVENT--a time of joy and celebration.
We visit the children's program. We were greeted as special guests as the very well-behaved children listen and watch. Stella, my friend from her US visit, escorts us about and asks children to model our VBS giving for Oduntia school supplies.
On Monday we visited the rainforest (I actually was on the canopy walkway.swinging bridge) and the British Slave Castle. It was humbling to say the least.
Tuesday, we visited the General Asembly and Presbytery offices. They are very happy for the Presbytery and, First Pres, and VBS gifts.
This is a trip of joy and discernment and some shopping. Call us when we return to see our interesting items.
