Religious Service

On 14th December 2008, I went to Mochou Lu Church Nanjing with my friends Chris and Victor. We met at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the gate of the church. We saw a lot of people there. Our planning teacher Ms. Bartell was also went there. On that day the Christian were celebrating the Christmas.

I was not a Christian, and in fact I did not believe it. But I would go abroad to study, and Christ was a kind of culture in the western countries. So I thought it was a good chance for me to learn more about the culture in different countries. That was the reason why I joined the event. Another reason was that I had not been to a church yet, and I even did not know there was a church in Nanjing maybe more.

When we went into the church, we saw a lot of people. The church was very beautiful. There was a nun on the stage reading something. And then the Christian followed her. But I totally did not understand. After reading the long prayer, the nun leaded us to sing song. However I had not heard the song. I could not sing, and I did not know what the song talked about.

To tell the truth, I felt boring. I did not know anything during the whole process. However I experienced the festival atmosphere. I was also happy to join the event.
