We started with worship at New Hope Adventist Church, where our new friend Kumar is one of the pastors. I've never been to a Seventh Day Adventist Church. It was awesome! The worship was contemporary and lively and filled with the Spirit. We enjoyed a tour of their new facility, including an introduction to some of the technology they use, a visit to their children's ministry rooms, and a behind-the-scenes look at their administrative offices suite. Good stuff! God is blessing this church! (And I felt like it was Sunday all day after starting the day that way!)
We spent a couple of hours at the Smithsonian National Zoo, where we got to see the giant pandas, lots of flamingos, and a bunch of other animals. I love the zoo -- seeing such beautiful and diverse living creatures always reminds me how creative our Creator really is!
From there we went to Ebenezer's Coffee House, a ministry of National Community Church, for worship at 5:00 pm. Awesome, awesome, awesome! I'll write a full post about that experience tomorrow...
By the end of the day, Rachel was wiped (and so were her paren
ts!)...
And a full day awaits for tomorrow as well, so it's time to catch some Zzzz's...
