Churchgoing

I usually attend the English service at Fumen Church.  It is Weihai’s take on a megachurch.  Hundreds of people go there.  While I know many people in the English congregation at Fumen, I find it hard to get to know people in the Chinese congregation. It’s just so big.

Yesterday at the beach, I got to talking with a woman who calls herself Wendy, and she invited me to Bei Zhu Dao Church, which is much smaller—possibly two hundred members.  Wendy teaches Sunday school, so I spent my time with kids.  The program is very similar to what we do back home—prayer, Bible stories, and a chance to move around afterwards.  They even had Vacation Bible School last week.

Wendy asked if I knew “Jesus Loves Me” in English—they’ve taught the Chinese version.  So we worked on that.
