Seeking Community: United Church of Christ

April 1, 2015

Last Sunday we attended a United Church of Christ service in the next town over. It was a beautiful building tucked on the shore of a lake. We were welcomed at the door by a deacon. I am always impressed when the person at the door knows we’re visitors. I’m sure sometimes we give ourselves … More Seeking Community: United Church of Christ

Seeking Community: Episcopal Church 2

March 25, 2015

A couple Sundays ago we visited a second Episcopal Church. I wrote in my post about the first Episcopal Church we’d visited that I had so much hope in going, because I’ve been reading different articles and books about evangelical Christians who have found a new home in the Episcopal Church. But our first visit … More Seeking Community: Episcopal Church 2

Seeking Community: Presbyterian Church 2

March 11, 2015

Two Sundays ago, Chad and I visited another Presbyterian Church. This one in the town next to us, right up the street from our old apartment. The building is beautiful, especially considering this church has been around for more than 250 years. The sanctuary had a balcony section that went all around the room, which … More Seeking Community: Presbyterian Church 2

Seeking Community: Roman Catholic

February 20, 2015

As far as churches with websites go, this was the last church visit for us in our town. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were home churches or smaller church meetings happening in our area that we don’t know about, but the Catholic Church was the last one on our list of the eight mainline … More Seeking Community: Roman Catholic

Seeking Community: Church of the Nazarene

January 29, 2015

You’re four minutes late! As we walked to the church entrance, this shout came from somewhere behind us, and I thought, wow, it’s just four minutes! You don’t expect to be called out at church for being four minutes late.  It’s not the friendliest of welcomes for your first-time visitors. But when I turned to … More Seeking Community: Church of the Nazarene

Seeking Community: Presbyterian Church

January 7, 2015

Last Sunday, Chad and I went to the Presbyterian Church in our town. It is in our town, but it’s on the other side of the state highway, so I always forget that that part of town is still actually in our town. Anyway. This was a cute church. The little sanctuary was small and … More Seeking Community: Presbyterian Church

Seeking Community: Evangelical Free Church

January 2, 2015

Just over a year ago, Chad and I, and the rest of our community, lost our church. It was a satellite location of a larger evangelical church that I had attended for several years. We set up our small satellite community in an elementary school every Sunday morning, held a worship service, children’s church, and … More Seeking Community: Evangelical Free Church

Seeking Community: Episcopal Church

December 28, 2014

A couple weeks ago, Chad and I continued our church visits by attending the local Episcopal church. I’ve been reading quite a bit lately about some evangelical Christians who have been attending Episcopal churches, drawn in by the liturgy and tradition. Rachel Held Evans wrote a beautiful, poetic piece about the community and the sacredness of … More Seeking Community: Episcopal Church

Seeking Community: United Methodist Churches

December 17, 2014

I’m catching up on our church-visit posts. Chad and I attended two United Methodist Churches in November (not two Sundays in a row, since we interrupted our church visits with a ten-day trip to Norway). The first UMC we attended is in the neighboring town where we used to live. We used to pass this … More Seeking Community: United Methodist Churches

Seeking Community: Lutheran Church

November 1, 2014

It’s been a couple weeks since we visited our local Lutheran Church, but right after I left for a business trip and then had visitors for my birthday… so we’ve had a couple Sundays off since this visit. I still want to chronicle it, though. I don’t know where my lofty ideas of Lutherans came … More Seeking Community: Lutheran Church
