Making Personal Connections (Visiting Church #41)

Making Personal Connections (Visiting Church #41)

Making Personal Connections (Visiting Church #41) “Hi, are you the DeHaans?” The usher’s question surprises me. “Yes, we are.” I nod, a bit confused, but pleased at his acknowledgment. “I’m Greg.” Then gesturing towards Candy, he explains, “I...

New Friends to Guide Us (Visiting Church #40)

New Friends to Guide Us (Visiting Church #40) We find the church easily. With a parking lot in front and another in back, I choose the closer one. Only after getting out of our car do I notice the sign labeling the building entrance as “offices.”...

Love God More (Visiting Church #39)

Love God More (Visiting Church #39)

A Fresh Sunday Experience (Visiting Church #38)

A Family That Likes to Sing (Visiting Church #37)

Church Happens Anyway (Visiting Church #36)

Church Happens Anyway (Visiting Church #36)

Church Happens Anyway (Visiting Church #36) We arrive at church to find an empty lobby. Hearing an amplified voice, we head towards the sound. We find a large sanctuary with 162 chairs and 20 people. Like last week, we slink into a back row. A...

Confusing Signals but with a Good Result (Visiting Church #35)

The Holy Spirit Grows the Church (Visiting Church #34)

Be Thankful (Visiting Church #33)

Be Thankful (Visiting Church #33)

Be Thankful (Visiting Church #33) We only recently learned of today’s congregation, discovering them in a printed directory of churches. Their rural location seems further removed from us than our 8.8 mile drive. Their scripture for today is...
