東京での賛美 WORSHIP IN THE CITY
東京では、日本の美しさが天国の美しさを垣間見せてくれる場面を数多く目にすることができます。参加者の皆さんが市内の様々な名所を訪れ、それらについて学び、それらがどのようにして私たちを神への礼拝へと導いてくれるのかを理解できるよう、スケジュールに時間を確保しています。
In Tokyo, we can see many ways that the beauty of Japan gives glimpses of the beauty of heaven. We put time into the schedule for attendees to visit and read about various sites in the city and how they help point us to worship God.
