It is great to be exposed to the wonderful world of music, acting and dance that is part of the life of people here in Orissa. The church put on a great program for us in the evening. They even invited the three of guest to participate: Don and Ken on vocals and Emerson on drums. People seemed to enjoy our efforts.
It is great to see how the church here has taken the cultural reality of Orissa and have put Christian words to the setting. So whether we were hearing songs or watching dance, the message that was being communicated was the the reality of life in Jesus. There is a great deal of talent in this congregation and they are using it to communicate for Jesus.
Following the service we were invited for a meal to some people's home close to the church center. Their daughter was having her engagement party and we were invited. It was rather late, but all of the guest stayed until we came. After greetings we were taken to eat our meal (they had all eaten). It was only then that the guest felt at liberty to start to leave.
I will try to post a few pictures from these events at another time.
