Church in Bangkok

January 23, 2011

We decided to go to a Sunday evening that is held at our guest house so that we could visit the Grand Palace in the morning when it was cool (cool, meaning 85 with crazy humidity).  We worshiped with the International Church which is an expat church in the area.

This service was very contemporary.  There was lots of singing Christian music. There were no traditional hymns.  Their 'band' was two guitar players.  The minister is a white American.  The sermon is part of a continuing series called Jesus VS ...  The series is focusing on the everyday Jesus.  The scripture reading was from Luke 8:22.

This was the most lively service that we have attended thus far.  The service started at 6:30 pm and ended around 8:00 pm.  I don't have any pictures because I forgot my camera.  However, there was about 50 people in attendance.

I really appreciated this service because after the week I have had I really needed an upbeat service.  Folks were friendly and the minister was warm to the congregation.  Not like Victory but it still felt good.

I am off to bed.  We have a jam packed filled day tomorrow meeting with leaders from the Church of Christ in Thailand and meeting with staff at the Thai-Burma Border Consortium.
