Worshiping Barefooted!

We finally got to a church on Sunday! As with all places Japanese, we had to take off our shoes before entering. There was something very weird about standing/sitting there barefooted singing and listening to a sermon and later fellowshipping with others! Although the experience was very different, it was Biblical, and that's what counts. It is very small, just a room in a big building. This Sunday was their biggest attendance of 50 people, including children. It is only one of two enlgish-speaking churches in the area, a 35-45 minute drive from our house. The other church option meets at 5pm on Sundays. I went to my first Bible study on Monday. They only meet every other week, so that is a bummer. I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next one.
