Choir practice before the service.  Slight difference between
America and Africa, first of all, more than half show up before the
service starts, and second, EVERYONE practices the hymns.
Altar before the service, "Baptism Saves You" bracelets, white
baptismal garments (now exhausted, Carol please send more!!!),
and cross necklaces, all to teach and reinforce the significance of
their baptism into the death and life of Jesus Christ.
