Ministry at TOMY Społeczność Chreścijańska
We had the chance today to visit the evangelical church in Tomaszów-Mazowiecki today. We have been once before to the church building during the week as their coffee shop is open all week long, but have been wanting to make it there for a Sunday morning worship service. Some friends of ours, Michał and Karolina are very involved in the ministry at the church, called TOMY Społeczność Chreścijańska, as well as the camp in Zakościela which is connected to the church. This church reminds me very much of our home church, Whipple Creek Church, in Vancouver, Washington. Very cutting edge. Very friendly and non-threatening environment. Very relevant for today’s culture.

I was asked if I could play bass guitar in their worship team with them, as well as sing a song that went along with the theme that was being taught on that morning. I chose to play one of my originals, “Make Me Clean,” which I sang after John, an American missionary who married a Polish woman, gave the message. This morning was a double blessing for us because our friends from Katowice, Iga and Piotrek, were in the area this weekend and joined us at the church service this morning. We went out to obiad with Iga and Piotrek after the service, saying our final goodbyes to them, as we probably won’t see them again before we leave for Africa. It was a great morning.
