Today was my first time in church for communion in India. And I got to be a part of two services in one day! Last night, I was asked to go to a church in Jaggayyapet this morning with Prabhudas to his friend's church. On the way, I was told that his friend died 2 years ago, but the son was now leading and Prabhudas has been going for a couple months to encourage them. I didn't have my camera so did not get any pictures, but I enjoyed it. Back in town, I ran back to the house to get my camera. The church was pretty packed and I snuck out after putting my stuff down to get some pictures.
I interrupted the Sunday School classes for pictures as well.
After the sermon, it was announced that communion was only for those who had been baptized and others were asked to move to the back so that those participating in communion could move to the front. The elements were prayed for then given to a group of ladies sitting to the side to get it ready for passing out to the people. When the cups were being passed out, I noticed a few ladies following those serving and collecting the cups as people finished taking it.
intersting to see how other churchs work
