Sunday Worship Service

Now that I (Karena) have a few moments a wanted to share more with you about church at TLC. TLC (The Life Center) is in a great location. It is on a main road that people take all the way from Bangkok to the beach in Chonburi. Huge numbers of people come down this street every weekend on their way to the beach. The church has a huge heart logo (If you haven't seen a picture of the church, we will try to get one on the blog later this week).
The service is in Thai but one of the team members translates into a microphone so if you want to listen in English you can sit in the back and use the earphones. The worship team was all Thai people and we sang Mercy is Falling (us in English and everyone else in Thai). That was fun. They also sang other songs that I didn't know. A few people stood up and gave wonderful testimonies how God was working in their life or something amazing He did. There was even a young lady who gave her life to the Lord during the service. Then the pastor dismissed us for Children's Church. Carmen and I and some other young ladies took the children upstairs and had our own time with singing, games, Bible story, scripture time, crafts (Popsicle stick/cotton ball sheep!), snacks. My kids enjoyed the game--charades, the words were animals--so the language difference was not a problem!
