But what I found interesting was at the close a beautiful gift of packaged food was distributed to each congregant.<br />Complete with wine, juice, water, bread, fruit, meat,<br />side dish, even a beautiful dinner plate, large tumbler, fork and knife, beautiful towel, all nicely wrapped up and in a designer nice bag.<br />Was raised in the Greek Orthodox Tradition and never saw anything like this. In addition we were treated to a sumptuous meal at a fine restaurant.<br />Similar food gifts were distributed by the family again at the 40 day memorial service following the Sunday Three Hour Liturgy at church. Of course I'm use to this kind of thing having been raised in the Orthodox Tradition. <br />However I much prefer the non denominational services in the American Evangelical/Pentecostal Churches. Much more lively and enjoyable, and just plain fun.<br />I Cr 13:8a, Love never fails !!

However - they do seem to get slightly shorter (more Westernized?) as time goes by...<br />FANFARA - the brass band - is an expected presence in most Romanian funerals...Quality varies, as you have noticed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33299705.post-33984343712620438572010-07-27T17:03:00.588-07:002010-07-27T17:03:00.588-07:00I am a random guy from Indiana, USA.

I know no romanians except for these young converts. I think you know people I want to introduce these kids to, and I think maybe Bebe Bacui (the way house, eclesia?) is who I want to find. Can you help me? <br />joebradford@theunchurch.us<br /><br />Love and peace, Spangles!Joe Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385756442506439825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33299705.post-84670668166695644502010-01-23T00:34:53.042-08:002010-01-23T00:34:53.042-08:00Sunday service usually lasts over 4 hours and it c...Sunday service usually lasts over 4 hours and it can get really tedious trust me!Ioananoreply@blogger.com
