We have tried several church denominations here and today we went to the Methodist church in downtown Adum. It is a beautiful old red brick building with a large auditorium and a U shaped full balcony, complete with white and blue robed junior choir on one side and hot pink adult choir on the other. The pews looked ancient; real hardwood benches ornately carved with arms in the middle as well as at each end. The seat was upholstered slightly and the backs looked like a miniature lathed balcony railing with a slanted hymnal shelf for your prayer book. Beautiful but hard and straight backed.
Unfortunately, we had been told the English Service started at 8 AM or perhaps 8:30. So when we got there on time, we thought, the sermon was almost finished and we arrived just in time for the lengthy announcements, communion and offerings. The service starts at 7AM and goes ‘til after 10. When the service had ended Mr. Odum from the Timber Industry Development Division had recognized Fred and we were greeted warmly and welcomed by him.
We have plans next Sunday to try the Baptist church we saw near the Bekwai round-about.
Marlayne had purchased a baby present for the lady from whom we buy our groundnuts. She had a baby girl one day and the next day we saw her out doing laundry in her back yard. After church we delivered the gift and then found an Internet café that was open.
