I love the church I attend. This 300+ church meets in the Heritage International School cafeteria. This is a large, roofed space with cement floors and cement block walls at either end. On the long sides, there are large openings about 6'x8' high, beginning around 4' from the floor. There are roof supports along the sides, with the wall stopping just below the roof line.
There are no doors, windows or ceiling to this room. If a wind-driven rain storm comes, we pull together more closely, away from the sprinkles that come in. Most of the time there are gentle breezes that come through and the place is pretty comfortable. Sometimes a butterfly will wander in one window and out another, or birds might walk on the tin sheet roof and make a bit of a scratchy sound.
Out any window one can see fields of green, with many types of trees past the edge of the school property line. In the field you might see crested cranes, ibis, ground eagles or kites (who like to eat baby chicks)....or maybe a family of monkeys will come and play while we are worshiping.
When we sing praise songs and the breeze comes across my skin, I feel as if God is touching me and reminding me of how much He cares about each of us. I love my church family...and the space where we worship together.
