Africana - celebrate the different tribes


This month our church focused on the differences between the tribes, with much rehearsing for a 4½ hour service on Sunday. We learned new things about the culture, history, agriculture, dances,…… of nine tribes. One of them was Scotland!

Helen cooked flapjacks and shortbread, and Dave reminded them in a Scottish accent of the many streets in Freetown with Scottish names. We heard a greeting from our pastor in Dunfermline, and then had Auld lang syne, and the Eightsome reel. ……300 goggle eyed people watched with mouths hanging open!
