St. Julians Church

Believe it or not, if this picture had sound you would hear these teenagers singing the Alphabet song with our little Emma!

Today we joined our team mates for worship at Saint Julian's Anglican Chapel in the beautiful tea hills above Nairobi. As A. was away speaking to an ACC&S congregation, the rest of the family piled into our car for the drive. It was a beautiful day as we enjoyed the green hillside views on the way to the church. St. Julians is nestled inside a quiet Anglican retreat centre under the canopy of mature trees and surounded by wonderful gardens. We could see right away why the nearly twenty families take the drive out of the smoggy city to gather for worship on this peaceful hillside. Following the service, we gathered for garden tea and lunch in the shaded courtyard. It was a wonderful surprise for us to meet Jim Lay, an American missionary whom I (Aaron) had met in Eastleigh this past spring. Jim had been working among Somalis, but is now serving among the Borana people of Northern Kenyan.
