Every Friday nights from 7PM, there's a "Funky Party". This is an international party which is held by J-house, an international church in Osaka. Though the name of this party is a bit "funky", the contents of the party is quite healthy and enjoyable, and it's FREE!
The contents of the party are as follows:
*Buffet-style dinner (If you want to sit then you can grab a chair) *Group discussion *Moving to a big hall, playing game, group discussion again *Skit, drama, or dance *Live concert *Stories from pastor or church members (not formal at all) *Program ends around 9:30-10PM. After that you can drink coffee or tea in the cafe hall or play ping pong or whatever.
No matter what your religion, nationality, gender, age is, you are more than welcomed!! From my personal experiences, usually 40-80 people come to this party: the biggest group of age is around 18-26, half of the people are Japanese, half of the people are Christians, But those rates change depending on the week.
Don't worry about coming alone for the first time - there are always people coming for the first time. Admission is basically free but we will be happy if you donate as much as you want to.
*Better late than not coming! *No worries about your Japanese - most of all the programs are done both in English and Japanese. *We won't force you to believe in Jesus or anything so don't worry about that! They(we?)'re just nice people.
