Sundays in Africa

The peace of the Lord be with you!
It is now my second Sunday in Africa. My first slipped away from me as work absorbed my day. But today, I joined the newly formed Liturgical Protestant Service at 8am. I believe it used to meet on Saturday evenings. It is an answer to prayer that I may join other Christians of similar backgrounds in the liturgy, even if I cannot join them in fellowship at the altar. Today's Communion Liturgy clearly professed the Reformed view of only a spirtual presence of Christ.
After service, I am catching up on my blog readings that I have neglected for several weeks and how pleased I am to find a nugget in the sermon of a friend, Pr. Douthwaite of St. Athanasius in Vienna, VA. One of the perishoners there, Dr. Gene Veith, posts poertions of sermons often. Here is the link: Life Sunday.
We all want to be loved. How wonderful it is to know that God loves us; in fact loves us so much that He would do the unthinkable in giving His Son to save us. Amen.
