Yesterday was my last Sunday in Rwanda for this trip. I had the opportunity to preach three times; twice in the morning and once in the evening. The morning was a first time experience for me in Rwanda. Although I have preached for two different churches on a Sunday morning, this was the first time I have shared in Rwanda with one church that has two morning services.
Second morning service was a younger crowd.
Evidently the young people like to sleep a little longer.
The other first occurred during the earlier service. A number of worshippers brought produce from their farms as their offering to God. At the conclusion of the service, the produce was auctioned to the highest bidder and the money added to the morning offering. In America’s history I am familiar with paying the preacher with chickens, eggs, vegetables, etc. But I am not familiar with holding an auction during the morning worship service.

Imaculee wins the bid and gives a gift of appreciation to the muzungu.
