Sabbath at GC

Sabbath at the GC Session is, as you would expect, very special. With the theme this year of impacting large urban areas around the world, the worship service was more of an "around the world" reporting session than a traditional worship; however, it was quite interesting and inspiring.
The worship was extremely crowded, such that for those arriving after 10 am (including me) found it almost impossible to find a seat, and a number of individuals simply had to stand in the back during the worship.

 I'll share the days activities by means of the pictures below with some brief descriptive comment:

friendly and very used to getting
