We had a great time at BICF (Beijing International Christian Fellowship) for church! It is held every Sunday in the 21st Century Theatre in Beijing. You must have a foreign passport to enter and there were Christians from over 70 countries there this morning! The worship band and the message were awesome -- and we even got communion!
After church, it was time to play tourists so we headed to see the Hutong neighborhoods on rickshaw bikes and also enjoyed some beautiful parks with lakes, boats, etc....We also went to Tian'anmen Square and the gardens surrounding the Forbidden City. Finally, we enjoyed an interesting meal at the Noodle Loft which consisted of noodle bowls with several different (and interesting!) sauces. The girls were adventurous and had fun trying everything (well, almost everything). Tomorrow we are off to Hope Healing Home......
There is also much celebrating around Beijing because it is the 10th Annivsary of Hong Kong being returned to Chinese rule. The picture above is one of many traditional Chinese dance groups who were performing outside our hotel.
