Tonight I found my way to the Florence Gospel Fellowship International Church service. With one step, I left a world, foreign to me, and entered a sanctuary filled with beautiful voices, singing familiar worship songs. Songs that flooded my mind with memories of countless worship serves as a child. The stone walled church echoed with praise all around me, I became overfilled with joy. Lifted hands, fallen knees, and bowed heads; the signs of whole hearted worship. Knowing the treasure I had just found, and the friendships that will be planted, I couldn’t help bun grin from ear to ear. It felt so good to worship God, in this church, surrounded by people who share this love I have for my farther. This last week I was with God, but I lacked fellowship. I was longing for this connection, that was now taking place. After the service and making many wonderful friends, a couple of new acquaintances and I set off for a Portuguese church service. When we entered the room we were greeted with joyful worship, lifted voices and clapping hands. During the service our new friend translated the message into english. Afterwards we conversed with our new Portuguese friends as well as we could, while eating chilies dogs. The whole night was such an amazing experience. On my walk home I felt so consumed by God’s love, everything about Florence was more beautiful then ever. Chapman Hamborg
