Pentecostal

I worshipped yesterday at the Faith Chapel United Pentecostal Church in Copse, Jamaica. The service was about 1 & 1/2 hours long. Much music filled the service at just about any and all places. Prayers would break into song, the missionary presentation morphed into song, and the testimonials all had songs as part of them. People standing, dancing, clapping, and raising their hands were the norm for the service. The sanctuary was packed and the Spirit was definitey moving in and among those assembed.

Pastor Douglas' sermon was intense and included songs and an altar call - different than what we would think of. The altar call was an opportunity for those who needed prayer to come to the altar for prayer with a deacon or the pastor. While this was going on the cogregation was in song. Drums and keyboard were the instruments of choice. More to be posted later.
