Church and Parties

Today we went to church; Nairobi traffic is different on a Sunday, the queues form outside churches.
We went with Simon and Cecilia to a nearby Anglican church, which they have completely finished re-building. It is massive, but the congregation is already growing to fill it .  We received a very warm welcome.
The service was a mixture of old Anglican hymns we used to sing years ago plus some very lively Swahili choruses. It was a modern Anglican  Church of Kenya   liturgy which I enjoyed. Still retaining some of the old favourites such as Cranmer's collects. The church is led by a very dynamic Kenyan lady vicar, who preached a six point sermon which was very practical and good..

After going back to the flat for lunch we went to a birthday party of one of Cecilia's friends. Which was a lovely occasion with an enormous Kenyan buffet. It was good to be warmly invited into another very friendly Kenyan family.

Then home to bed.
