Last month, on 13 February 2022,  I  have organized an international service. I wasn’t alone, Louis, Esperance and Berly helped me. In different services I have attended before, I realized a problem: even it was an international service, we only used songs from the „Evangelisches Gesangsbuch“. I was wondering, what it really was meant with the word „International Sunday Service“? I have thought, an International Sunday Service must be of different language (songs, prayers, blessings, and so on), and learning about different cultures and songs.
I took an initiative. Maybe I could make a special International Sunday service with the other volunteers. Finally I chosed some songs from „Thuma Mina“. Then, there were songs in German, English and Indonesian (other languages ​​are also possible). I made it and many people liked this service very much. I was happy about it and I was also proud of it. I must thank to Louis, Esperance, Berly, and Johnsan. They helped me and gave me support.

I hope the next volunteers can attend an international service at Lydia Church and help them. They will really appreciate it.
