More From Chamwino

After we were welcomed to Chamwino by St. Peter's, I accompanied Quest Elder Barbara Lundquist; Dr. Kati Szego, a former pupil of Barb's and current professor of Music at Memorial University in Canada; Karl Dreschler, a Seattlite who will be living for a year in Chamwino while working on behalf of Chamwino Connect; Lewis Kashiri, a man from Zimbabwe who also plans on assisting the project in Chamwino; and Zachary Gerald to our next stop. The musical folks in our party had arranged a visit with a remarkable group of women singers, the Muh Eme singers. As we traveled, we were accompanied by Pastor Daniel Meshach, the amazing Nassan Mazengo and Rev. Eubert Nyembela. After a few years of reading names printed on paper, it was great to meet many of these folks in real life.

Welcome to Chamwino

Just over two weeks ago, I made my way out of the airport in Dar es Salaam and into the waiting arms of Barbara Lundquist and a local friend, Zach Gerald. Pitching my trusty backpack and a bag of donated clothes into the back of our vehicle, we headed for Prof. Mitch Strumpf's house and early the next morning set out for the village of Chamwino. What does it mean to build partnership with a parish halfway around the world? I was about to find out. As we approached St. Peter's Church, we were greeted with song and dancing. [caption id="attachment_284" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="A few of the folks gathered at St. Peter's. The woman on the far right is Kedmon Mapana's mother!"]IMG_3583[/caption]

Along the way, St. Peter's Pastor, Pastor Daniel Meshach, joined us for a song.

CM Refresh. Recharge

in the midst of preparing sunday school lessons, singing Jesus Loves Me with toddlers, or presenting puppet shows to preschoolers there is always a project to improve, enhance, or reinforce the ministry that we do each week. This summer is no different than any other season. Through the month of August we will be refreshing our space- creating a larger preK/Kinder classroom, updating classroom furniture and supplies, painting murals in early childhood classes, creating better storage, and updating our main worship area. Yes- we are a little crazy!
