Worship at Singida Cathedral

-









 Worship today was one of joy and celebration. Choirs sang and danced, the sermon was preached, brass played and several offerings were taken, 5 in all and included an auction of produce and other items. Another very special part of the service was the baptism of 7 month old Liam Marcus. Sherry was his baptismal sponsor and had the privilege of holding him while he was baptized.

A bit of history.  Many years ago, when the school was a school for girls, Mount Olive had had a strong relationship with the school.  It housed around 30 girls, and Mount Olive members paid for the construction of the Dining Hall (among other things.)  Here is that Dining Hall. The school hit hard times, the relationship with Mount Olive was broken for a while, and several years ago, the school found itself with only nine students. The headm...
