Only two more days left to go and I can start to put up a different title again. :-)
Sunday, I decided to go to the church that Dan has been going to these last few weeks. It does mean that I lose most of the day with driving and staying for other activities, but I think it is worth the cost. I don't have anything against the church I was attending before, but I think it is too big. I couldn't meet the same people every week. Every time I attended, it was like walking into a new church where I didn't know anyone and no-one remembered me.
Perhaps this is just a reaction to the last sermon I heard at the larger church: it was a "support your Emergency Service People day".... or something like that. At the church service, God was hardly mention. It was all about the strength of some emergency workers, and how this emergency worker had opportunities to share Christ, and emergency workers had a high calling.
Other than the singing, prayer requests, and the occasional mention of the opportunity it was to share Christ to other worker.... the service felt like a community event celebrating emergency service personnel.
Ah, I'm probably ranting too much, but that one service did offend me. I just think that they could have still celebrated a noble activity, but done it in a way that didn't leave Christ out of most of it. So it was that I decided to see what the church Dan is attending is like.
Your thoughts? Did I go overboard?
