Since Timothy Girls College is a boarding school, we have the opportunity to meet together on Sunday mornings for our weekly chapel service. We have had two such meetings since the school opened, and I've really enjoyed joining the students in the worship service. The girls lead the singing with local drums as the only accompaniment and everyone joins in very enthusiastically.
It is very hard to convey the mood of an African worship service in words and photos alone; even video doesn't quite capture the atmosphere. The girls in the chapel services sing at the top of their lungs, dance, pound the drums, clap their hands and shout; it is really very fun to be a part of it all. I can't join in the Luganda songs, and it's sometimes difficult to recognize the ones in English, but I can't help but be touched by the excitement all around.
You'll just have to visit sometime and experience it for yourself!
