Tonight at 7pm was my first English service here in Sweden. It was of course very different form what I was used to, but I was blessed by it. There were about 20 of us, all students at the university. Some were on exchange others here for the long haul to do their Masters or PhD. I got to sing a simple Swedish chorus, pray from the Psalms and have a very catholic style communion where we walk to the front, take a big wafer and all drink from the same imposing silver chalice. I thought it was really cool :) I made new friends from Iran, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Cameroon, plus I discovered that friends I knew all along from the exchange group are brothers and sisters in Christ too. I think there's only service once a month in English, but Samuel from Nigeria told me there's a church somewhere off town that he attends so perhaps they have English services there I can attend. I'll speak with him tomorrow and get the details. As for now, I'll just attend my Lukas group meetings on Thursday evenings :) I'm so thankful I'm still connected to THE Body in some way.
