Church

Sunday was new years eve and we had the day off. Got up at 9 and went for a run, wuhuu! I did it! Was supposed to run with A, but forgot to set the alarm right, so she ran without me, but it was ok actually. I had on enough clothes that it didn’t feel cold, and I just ran around campus for a while.

At 10 I went to church with A, J and R.
BICF = Beijing International Christian Fellowship. A had looked it up on the internet and found an English speaking church to go to the day before. So we went there. A big modern church with space for 1000 people I think. And there was a lot of people there, was a bit surprised by that. Just like actually going to church isn’t like I’ve imagined it. There was this great band playing, they took the lead in the songs we sang, modern church songs, and were very good at it.

I might not be the biggest believer in God, but going to church is great. You can actually sense people belief in God it’s so strong/concentrated. It’s quite amazing standing among so many people focused on the same thing, believing in the same thing. If it’s like that going to church every time, I might do it more often!
I almost fell asleep during the actual sermon, but I blame it on the not sleeping enough! And J admitted almost doing the same.
After the sermon we slipped out during the closing song and took a taxi back to campus.
