Church under a tree

When you live in a place with a perfect climate (Nairobi), it works fine to meet under a tree for worship.

One Saturday we visited the Nairobi Arboretum. Within a few hundred yards of each other were about four different church groups.

It's cheaper than having a building program. (But then, in North America the climate would not allow this sort of "building" for much of the year.)

  1. yeah, but we have schools, movie theatres, museums- noen of which are occupied on Sunday AM (when most folks who worship, worship). Building ar a blessing- but too often become 'the church'- not the people.

    Whats amazing to me, isn't that they were meeting under a tree-- but that there were FOUR of them meeting unde trees, in the same arboretum.

    thanks Paul, enjoy the next few weeks.
