Trip to Botswana- Day 2

Tuesday March 20
We all were hosted by members of the Sowero Congregational Church.  Ayana, Monalisa and I stayed together with a lovely woman, whose name I need to remember!  Here is her home, the room I stayed in and a picture of her with Monalisa.





 Rev. Muriel checking out the breakfast buffet.  The women of the church cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner for 50 of us from Monday dinner to Friday breakfast and did a wonderful job.  Something I have discovered in South Africa and Botswana is that baked beans are served for breakfast.

Rev. Muriel and the Honorable Mayor of Kuruman, Esther.
I was honored to be invited to lead the Bible study and devotion each morning of the meeting.
Current President Basil Manning opened the meeting with General Secretary Prince Dibeela.
After a day of meetings, a glorious worship service was held with the community.  Here are the delegates from Mosambique.
 President Basil and one of the children get ready for the procession.
 Rev. Ian and I in discussion.
 Rev. Muriel in robe and stole.
 Rev. Philip Strydom, President Elect of the denomination.
 Rev. Dr. Prince Dibeela General Secretary before he tries to get all his sheep in line for the procession.
 The officers of the different organizations of the church getting ready for the procession.
 And the procession begins

 And the singing begins, the women's fellowship in white uniforms.
 The choir in yellow was fantastic.
 The youth choir was amazing.
 The Soldiers of Christ began the dancing in the aisles.
 And communion was served.
