I loved the emphasis on unity, hospitality, and the way worship reshapes daily life, not only Sundays. It also made me think about the practical side of gathering: when people pray together in smaller spaces, comfort matters, especially in summer. Choosing the right cooling setup can help everyone stay present and attentive. I recently read about different types of ac—from split systems to portable units—and it’s helpful for planning any home gathering space without turning it into a distraction.
