God is Good

Apparently the call and response phrase "God is Good (all the time) And all the time (God is good)" is a fairly universal phrase. I actually found myself laughing a little yesterday in church when we were saying this as I thought of comedian Ricky Smiley and his infamous church parodies. Yesterday I had the priveledge of officially (in choir robes and everything) singing and dancing with the Efather Choir at Christ Church where we have been attending services. All of the practice paid off as we actually kind of knew what we were doing up there. When the pastor realized that there were new faces in the choir (not hard to do since we stood out pretty easily) he had us introduce ourselves to the whole congregation. It was a little nerve wrecking but everyone was so welcoming that it wasn't so bad. I can't imagine ever doing something like this at a church back home. We had only been to the church twice and were not even members, yet they invited us in for practice and let them sing with them for a Sunday service. They didn't even care if we knew how to sing or not. Now we have also been invited to perform with them next week at another church. I am trying to figure out how to explain that all I initially wanted to do was watch them practice because I really enjoyed seeing them dance and sing but now it seems that they may want us to participate long term. Hmmmm.... we will see how it goes.
