I'm making some changes with my blog, and changed some security options. A good reason for this is that my address, contact information, names and stories should not be accessible to the general public. As a result only those invited by myself to view this blog will be able to. If you know of anyone who would like to see my blog, but I neglected to add their e-mail to the list please leave a comment or have them e-mail me at:

unfortunately after 30 days Blogger will want you to have your own google account, having a google account can be helpful in many ways so I don't think it would be a burden for anyone to sign-up, however if for some reason you are not comfortable with that, never fear I am still writing newsletters to be sent via snail-mail, the first one goes in the mail this week!

World Communion Sunday
I visited a church this morning that I believe will be where I attend this year. I've already started practicing with the ever so small choir and I feel like I was really welcomed there. It is a very small congregation overall but very active and I'm excited to get involved.
Being that today is World Communion Sunday the service consisted of almost each piece being read or spoken in a different language, it was quite possibly one of the coolest worship services I've ever taken part in. We were greeted in Portuguese, the call to worship was in Spanish, the call to confession was in Italian, the old testament scripture was read in French. Parts were done in German and Dutch as well. I was reminded of how much I wanted to learn German as a child.
I pray that everyone felt as connected to the rest of those taking communion around the world today. I hope to spend a little more time very soon updating everyone about everything I've been up to!
Love in Christ,
Maggie
