Day Four: Traditional vs Non-Traditional

Today, Sunday, was a simple day of church, good food, and relaxation. In the morning, we went to the church where Mrs. Hudy's cousin Helen's husband Will was preaching in Killead, a military-base town. The service was very traditional, hymnals, book of prayers, etc. I also had my first taste of alcohol today. In church no less! All I can say is that my disinterest in drinking alcohol is even stronger now. This evening I also went to the evening service at one of the other parishes Will & Helen are in charge of. Will wasn't preaching at this one though. The evening service was much more contemporary, and reminded me more of KCF (my home church). It was quite amazing singing these contemporary worship songs in a church built in 1841.

After the morning service, we went to Helen & Will's home, which is the house provided by the parish where the evening service is held. Interesting fact about the house is that even though it's only 3 years old, the outside of the house was built to look much older. It's an interesting concept. (Obviously the weather has to be taken into consideration too when building: rain, rain, rain.) 

Lunch was amazing. If I ate like that everyday I'd turn into a beached whale. A verry happy whale at that. We had a chicken & broccoli casserole (I don't much care for broccoli), various types of bread, potatoe salad, two kinds of coleslaws (chili cheese & cranberry of which I ate neither) and salad. For dessert we had pavlova and a fruit trifle. Pavlova has the consistency of the inside of a marshmallow and the trifle is yoghurt with fruit mixed in on top of a layer of crunch on the bottom.
