I know it’s supposed to be a day of rest and all, but Sunday is one of my busiest days of the week.   Let me lay out a typical day for you.

I leave my house at about 8am and start walking to the bus stop.  Luckily, I found a bus that stops closer to my apt than the one I’d been taking before.  So I march down to my lil bus stop and wait anywhere from 0-20 mins for my 2-1 bus. It only takes about 15-20 mins to get to church so it’s not too bad.  Sunday school starts at 8:45 and goes till 9:30.  At 9:30, there is the Children’s English Worship Service.  At 10, immediately after the worship service, there is a teachers meeting for all of the english sunday school teachers.  One would assume that since it’s for english teachers, the meeting would be in english…. but one would be wrong.   But there’s breakfast and super sweet people so you can’t really beat that.

Meeting ends at 10:45 and it’s upstairs for the main Korean worship service.  It’s very traditional with a huge choir and orchestra.  I love hearing them every week.  We have a pretty amazing translator lady and it makes it so easy to follow along and really get some meat out of the sermon. So many times when things are translated, they are watered down and we on the receiving end only get bits and pieces.  But this woman is amazing.  I’m so thankful for her.

Korean service ends about 12:15.  At 1:00, there is the english service.  I really love the pastor of the english service and have met some fun people there.  It’s also nice to sing worship songs in my own language sometimes.  Not that I don’t love singing in korean b/c I do.  But english is nice sometimes too.

English service ends at about 2:00 and then at 3:00, there is the young adults korean service.  There is no korean translation during this service which is unfortunate b/c I really like it.  The music is incredible and much more contemporary than the 11:00 service.   I wish I could understand the pastor b/c everyone always seems really moved by his messages.

So yeah….   That’s a typical Sunday.  It’s so busy but I love it.  I really feel at home in my church.  I was in Dallas for so long and never found a church I really clicked with so it’s nice to be super involved again.  I’ve missed that the past few years.  Oh, and I LOVE working with the children’s pastors so much.  I love those guys.  They’re so much fun.

Ok, that’s all for now.  I’m tired just thinking about it all.  I think it’s time to go to sleep now.  Next post:  BMW transportation.  Get excited!
