Well, I didn't notice the disco whilst dropping off to sleep last night. The morning started early with a call from Sarah at 4:15am to wish me a good morning, thinking it was 8:15. It then started again when the hotel alarm clock had been set (not by me) for 5:30am. It started for real when my own alarm went off at 6am. Trying to get up early and go to bed early so I'm not so far out of the UK timezone for when I return.
I took the morning off today, and decided to see what the churches in the area were like. I went to the Family Community Church (FCC) - which was very big. The "pastor" mentioned it was half a mile if you walked all the way round. The church had about 40 seats across and 17 seats from front to back, and there were two huge TVs at the front, with a video operator down each side, as well as a stage which was lit in many different colors. The place was about two thirds full for their 9am service, and there was another service at 11am. The style reminded me of CBC Church in Chelmsford - not least because the sermon was on giving! The service was in two halves - loud worship music first, and a talk in the second half. (You might be able to listen to it here though it didn't work for me). It was a lot more happy-clappy than CBC - but not as much as I had been expecting. I'd go again but would look for an alternative first!
This afternoon, I went into work (where they have microwave ovens for dinner) and finished off the first half of the video I've been creating. I think it's not too bad - but I will see what the rest of them think about it tomorrow!
