Report from Betty Grit on worship this past Sunday at African Community Fellowship Church in Grand Rapids, Mich., a Vertical Habits partner church with CICW:
Pastor Mwaya Wa Kitavi extended warm hospitality to us as visitors by inviting the congregation to sing their traditional African welcome song. With smiles and waving arms, their joyful voices told us that we are one with them. Throughout the service, music in African languages as well as English reminded us that throughout the globe, in many languages, we are all one in Christ. A young man and woman sang Precious Lord, Take My Hand, reminding us that we are one in Christ, through all generations.
