I found the Episcopal church. It's right down the street from my house, but the gate is always closed. It might be open on Sundays, but I have Arabic class and teach four classes on Sundays (one of my busiest days).
I found the Episcopal church. It's right down the street from my house, but the gate is always closed. It might be open on Sundays, but I have Arabic class and teach four classes on Sundays (one of my busiest days).
Here's the sign for the church
Here's the plaque with the bells:
The first bell says it's the priest's house. The second says it's Zarafely house (?) and the third bell is the school.
I have to walk past the church when I go to the market, so I pass it almost every day. One day as I was walking past, the gate to the church courtyard was open. I decided to walk in and see if I could find anyone. I went in, but all I saw was closed doors. As I was walking around, the gate closed electronically! I was afraid I was locked in! But it turned out that I could just open it from inside to leave.
Finally, I sent an email to the priest. He answered that I am welcome and that services are every Sunday at 10:00. That's not a good time for me, but I can leave Arabic class early and also leave church early to go teach my class. I can at least try that this Sunday.
