One month our St. Jude Thaddeus Small Christian Community (SCC) in Musoma,
Tanzania started planning a big celebration.  Special invitations were sent out
to priests, Sisters and lay leaders of the other SCCs.  The day before the feast
I mentioned to one of the leaders Semphroza Chacha that I hadn’t received an
invitation.  She answered with a big smile: "You can’t get an invitation. 
You’re a member of our SCC.  We don’t send invitations to ourselves."  Suddenly
I realized that I really belonged.  I was truly part of this SCC — a communion
of extended families in the same neighborhood.  The SCC members had evangelized
me.
