Church visits

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

Still Looking For An Easter Service?

If you still searching for an Easter weekend service, the Anchorage Daily News Easter Worship Guide centerfold in yesterday's paper is loaded with choices. Although churches pay for these ads, they are representative of a good cross-section of local church Easter services.

A Google search may not be as successful because many local churches use beautiful graphics to announce their Easter services, but Google tends to read words in searches. Pictures are undependable. Another reason churches don't always benefit from being their own webmasters.ADN Easter Service Listing in 4/5/12 PaperADN Easter Service Listing in 4/5/12 Paper
