One of the places where we’ve found another community, apart from our wonderful Luther students, has been Holy Trinity Church. It’s an independent Anglican church about 3 blocks from our flat, and from the first Sunday we visited, we’ve felt very welcome.

Today was a special Lenten lunch, not too different from what we might experience at Good Shepherd in Decorah. We were served bread and soup, homemade by several volunteers, along with water and juice (no coffee!). The weather was beautiful, and when we were done, we played in the lovely garden in back of the church—this is a rarity in this part of Malta, as space is at such a premium.

We also plan to help out at the annual Spring Fayre, also known as the bazaar—again, a not unfamiliar experience, where people make baked goods to sell along with attic treasures.
