We were in church for a full 3 hours that seemed like 15 minutes! It was Communion Sunday, and the President of the Evangelical Church of Cameroon was the featured pastor. Sam was introduced as a visiting pastor, Papa Hosler, and he charmed everyone with his down-to-earth remarks about sharing our love for one another and then leading us in singing "Jesus Loves Me!" The form of worship in the Evangelical Church of Cameroon flows much like the Presbyterian forebearers started here some 150 years ago, and since this is a Francophone area, its all done in French. There was the wonderful singing and dancing, beautiful black-skinned and brightly dressed people, everyone greeting this new year in extra good form. --Afterward, back at the Titis, we found the rabbits on our dinner plates that we'd met on Friday afternoon when their big pink eyes were peeking out of a very large basket. They were delicious - a treat we seldom have on our US tables.
