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

Thanksgiving Eve or Day Church Observances 2012

Follow my church visit activity at Twitter.com/ChurchVisits

Using Google search terms “thanksgiving 2012 anchorage church services” I found the following offerings on the first two Google search pages. Instead of hyperlinking each of these, use my Google search terms to find them.

Anchorage Church of Christ (Thanksgiving Day Feast)

St. Mary’s Episcopal Church (Thanksgiving Day Pancake Breakfast & Service)

Amazing Grace Lutheran Church (Thanksgiving Eve Service)

Trinity Presbyterian Church (Thanksgiving Eve Service)

Yes, that’s it! Just four references discovered on the first two Google search pages. If your church is not listed on these two pages, it may not be optimized for its web presence. I’m sure there are other observances out there too, but if Web searchers can't find them, it's like they don't exist!
