Second attempt is a success! Today we try an interdenominational English-speaking church. Cozy modern chapel. People of all colours of the rainbow are there. The liturgy is comfortable and familiar and makes me wistful for my Episcopalian days. The sermon is poignant, if 10 minutes too long. And a greeting! At the door! In fact, the pastor invited us to stand and introduce ourselves during announcements.
Communion is conducted in-the-round, with all holding hands. Wonder Bread and grape juice hits the spot, and the soul. At fellowship, Therese and I get to talk to adults besides each other for the first time in 10 days. The cookies and cakes are yummy, too. In the name of lunch, we have to restrain the girls with quotas. Vanessa meets another 7-year-old girl who is also named Vanessa. We'll be back.
