Visiting: As a student of religion, I've seen how various factors in a church visit affect spiritual growth and religious attitudes as one searches for a church home. I visit churches to observe, firsthand, how they present themselves to visitors. My visits, with a few exceptions, focus on Christian churches. This blog contains accounts of those visits, and related posts. I look for the following in my visits:
• Friendliness and warmth
• Genuine welcome, true Christian hospitality
• Effective, well-delivered bible-based main teaching
• Music deepening the worship, not just entertainment

ECUMENICAL LENTEN SERVICE
Sunday, March 7, at 7:00 p.m., a truly special Lenten experience will be offered in the sanctuary of St. John United Methodist Church. Four churches will combine to present “DayBreak,” a poem that tells the Passion story, accompanied by chamber music, 130 visuals and dance. The choir will be a merged choir from Amazing Grace Lutheran Church, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Parish and St. John United Methodist Church. A free-will offering will be collected for FISH. Child care will be provided for children age 5 and under.
