Sunday English Service

Yesterday, I visited to a church which near SUIDO-CHO(水道町) to join a service. The service was hold for people who speak English. As I came in, there were many people already had gathered all around the room. Some people are Asian, some are White, and some are Black. It was like a Little America. At that time, I felt pretty nervous because it was my very first visiting. When I sat down, the woman who was sitting next to me said hallo to me. I said same to her, and then we had a conversation. She was an English teacher who had live in America long time. When I talked her that this is my first joining, she taught me almost everything about the service. She was so kind.
Few minutes later, the pastor appeared and told us service's beginning. The service was about sixty-minutes. The pastor told us some story about Jesus Christ, and then we sang some hymn. When the service almost ends, a man comes to front of the room, said: "Here's new face today." I know that means me, so I stood up and did a self introduce. Surely I was so nervous while I'm talking, but all of them welcomed me very warmly. After the service, the woman who was sitting next me asked me to go to a dinner with them. But I couldn't agree because of a lack of money. They were very kind people, so I wish that I could go to dinner with them next week.
