Galilee Church

 

I attend the church that I go to with my pa. Its building is 4-storied circular mass made from red bricks. Inside, the flowery reverend is quite lyrical when he is talking about something interesting such as what are the things God and His chosen people should decide to do.

And does he like Godly music? Oh yes, and he is not the only one: Between the first and the second services serves an ensemble made of a wind instrument player, a singer-guitarist who looks to me suspiciously like Lee Han Chul, and two singers. Typical in today’s church services, these musicians play all kinds of Christian tunes so that their audience may listen to them, read their lyrics and sing to them. Shortly afterwards, the second service is served by the large-sized choir and its cellists as well as its recently appointed choirmaster. Before the second service near whose beginning this ensemble stop their singing, the reverend strides up the altar and sings aloud along with everyone in the audience.
