Who is He in Yonder Stall? is a song of contrasts. We have a Baby in an animal’s feeding trough. We have a Man in the wilderness, weeping. Then we have a Man who is sought after and admired for His compassion and gracious words. But then He prays in the garden, and dies an […]

And, lo, the […]

Just watched this video. Wish I could understand Spanish, but I enjoyed it anyway! How many were at this special service? What is the average attendance?
I’d love to go and be part of one of these services!

Hmmmm…good question. There weren’t really any “extra” people at the service. It varies a lot from week to week. I’m guessing there would be maybe 50 or 60 people there. Of course, that’s at the end of the service. At the start there were maybe half that many. 😉
The service was quite good – the pastor has been doing a series on Ecclesiastes. We had some special prayer time for the church in small groups. It was great to hang out with people a little more afterwards too.
