| Worship in Southeast Asia (YOUTHFUL Myanmar Lutheran Church) |

| Worship in the USA tends to be.. newer hymnbooks, comfy-er chairs, a little older, a little emptier. |
LOTS of differences, BUT ONE THING REMAINS THE SAME:
No matter the color of our umbrella or the way we eat our snacks,
we are "blood relatives" with sisters, brothers, aunties, grandpas all over the world, through Jesus, our Savior and Lord and Friend. And so,
"So, whether we are at home, or away,
we make it our aim to please the LORD."
(St. Paul in his 2nd Letter to the Corinthians, 5:9)
