Joint Picnic with Tokyo-Area Churches
Wednesday, October 10, 2007
Monday October 8 was a national
holiday here in Japan. The people of Kami-fukuoka, Fukuin Chapel
and Iriso Church in Tokyo took the opportunity to have their yearly
joint picnic. The event was held at a nearby park and proved to be
a time of blessing and fellowship, despite an occasional light
rain.
We started with a time of worship, with Kenji Hosokawa leading the singing and Pastor Kojima giving a short devotional message. Then fires were lit, grills were fired up, and food was cooked o' plenty! There's nothing like the smell of grilled food! Everyone took their time enjoying the meal and the company. It isn't often that our people in Tokyo can gather to worship and fellowship together, and so it's always a blessing when they can!
