Yesterday was an important day for CECU (Congolese Free Church). In March, the CECU President and Vice President were re-elected for another four-year term. Yesterday was the instalation service and it was a big deal. There was even official fabric people could buy and wear for the service. So...we joined the club, bought the fabric, hired a tailor and wore our uniforms to the service.

| Even the babies matched |
The service began around 9:30 AM with special choirs and ended around 3:15 PM! Michelle and Sarah left earlier with the babies but the rest of the team Ben, Karen and Rachel) stuck it out until the end. At least they got fed afterwards! Here are a few photos from the service...
