Interesting.  My church does a part of the Pentecost story in a number
of languages on Pentecost.  Also, my church back home used to have
periodic German-language services.  Our pastor has moved on to another
congregation, and, at least while we have an interim pastor, we have no
German-language services; I think fluency in German is one of our
requirements for the new pastor.

Anyways, both my church here and back home do occasional songs in other
languages, usually Latin or Greek.
