Saturday we were given the opportunity to work along side our brothers and sisters at the job site and get to know them more personally. Sunday we stood side by side and worshiped the very same sovereign God in two drastically different laguages, DZENKUE BOG (translation: Thank you God). The service itself included: worship through multiple songs, of which a few were familiar to us; the individual prayers of the church members were mixed throughout, a neat element to me; Jeff (from Jonesboro, TN) preached out of Luke 14, the cost of being a disciple. The service was followed by announcements and then they proceeded to bring out tables for cookies, coffee, tea, etc. as a venue for everyone to fellowship and take the time to visit. Not a concept we are real accustomed to, since"Americans' time" tends to be so valuable.
After church we were off to Malbork, a castle of the Teutonic Knights, to enjoy an afternoon of Polish history. Pierogi, potato dumplings, were what's for dinner. Then it was back to base camp to rest up for another productive work day.

It is an amazing thing to attend a worship service in a language we cannot understand and it turns out to be one of the most memorable, meaningful and worshipful services in which we have ever participated. Wow. So glad to hear how incredible the trip is and has become for many of you. Tell Faye and Stasik hello from their Memphis friends. We love them and will continue to lift them and the team in prayer.
