Worship Event in Thessaloniki

Last weekend I went up to Thessaloniki where we kicked off the first Worship Event there in the history of the events. It was an amazing time of gathering as about 150 people showed up. The energy there was great as young and old gathered to worship. Those you could would frequently jump up and down in rhythm with the music while the others contended themselves with bobbing their heads and singing along.
Those of us who came from Athens gathered in the city centre at First Church at 9:00, we climbed into the bus we had ordered and started our road trip up north. We arrived in Thessaloniki at 16:00 or 7 hours later, for those of you who don’t want to do the math. The event was held in a hotel on its top floor. We helped with setup and since sound was being taken care of without me I set out to explore this city I’ve heard of so many times before but never had the privilege of visiting before. So Andrew, Lyndon, Natassa and I set out to explore. We walked around for about 3 hours and saw, amongst other things, the city symbol known as the White Tower. It’s a cool little town - small on a worldly scale but big for one coming from Iceland ;o)
