ok.
my
introduction
is
to
say
that
i
am
not
ghanaian
and
this
was
my
first
ghanaian
church
experience.
i
think
that
context
matters.
AND,
i
will
say,
i
definitely
considered
that
intentionally,
and
how
i
bring
a
certain
bias
in
my
opinions.
considering
that,
this
was
my
experience.
to
be
honest,
as
a
first
time
visitor,
i
didn’t
feel
welcomed
and
i
was
lost
a
bit
of
the
time.
like
where
did
everyone
get
their
communion
crackers
and
juice??
they
literally
just
appeared
in
people’s
hands.
hardly
anyone
spoke
to
or
even
smiled
in
my
direction.
not
that
a
visitor
has
to
stand
out
like
a
sore
thumb
(but
really,
they
do)
but
it
demonstrated
a
“clicky”
culture.
to
be
fair
this
is
present
in
most
churches
i’ve
been
a
member
of.
but
there
are
things
the
leadership
can
put
in
place
to
acknowledge
and
make
visitors
not
feel
so
excluded.
no
one
who
stepped
to
the
mic
introduced
themselves
and
there
were
no
procedures
for
welcoming.
and
it
was
so
hard
to
even
find
when
the
services
occur
as
it’s
not
on
the
clear
on
the
website
and
it
took
days
to
get
a
response
on
social
media.
in
a
lot
of
ways,
social
media,
language
that
explains,
greeting,/welcome,
and
so
on,
you
can
orient
in
a
way
that
newcomers
can
pick
up
on
things
and
kinda
fit
in.
and
of
course
it
didn’t
start
on
time.
that
didn’t
really
bother
me
as
it’s
cultural.
but
there
was
so
much
going
on
when
i
got
there
that
it
seemed
like
it
had
started
and
it
wasn’t
easy
to
tell
when
it
actually
did.
the
message
was
good.
and
i
found
similarities
to
my
home
culture,
reminding
me
that
black
people
all
over
the
world
have
connection
and
i
love
that!
the
music
was
fun.
lively.
inviting
of
worship.
tho
the
long
solos
for
choir
songs
seemed
out
of
place.
i
might
give
it
a
second
try
at
a
sunday
service
(i
went
saturday
evening)
but
more
likely
to
try
some
other
churches
first.
