Our new church

We have been attending the Union Church here. It is a non-denominational church that many expats attend. Filipinos are still the vast majority of the church. We have enjoyed it. Here is a picure of the sanctuary from the balcony. We enjoy the sermons. The pastor is young, but knowledgable and enjoyable to listen to.
There are some new things for us. Because they are non-denominational they do a little bit of everything so everyone feels at home. Since the Philippines is 90% catholic, they are new things there that is new to us. We recite the Lord's Prayer and we have communion every Sunday. Our first time we all walked foward, just following everyone else, and were given a piece of bread and a small glass of grape juice. What Landon and I didn't know was that the glasses in the middle of the tray were real wine and the ones on the outside were grape juice. That was an interesting surprise.
