We started the day at St. Lukas Church with Pastor Gevers, who talked about the church and his mission. Then Rev. Dr. Ahlman, master organist and musician, talked to us about his work, and even played the organ for us!
We then walked to the Johanna park and had lunch, then went and saw the St. Thomas church where Bach was a cantor for 27 years and is currently buried. After that, Tev. Dr. Ahlman showed us around Leipzig. We met Pastor Gevers at the church again and had a question and answer session with some members. It was a very good experience for everyone.
Following that, we went back to the fellowship hall at the old church location for a cookout, then some students walked to the local park to play, while others played cards. That night at the church, the boys and Mr. Bingham slept in one room, and the girls and Mrs. Bingham stayed in another room. It was a great bonding experience for everyone.
