Church

August 9, 2013

Posted by Kanga. Please do not reblog.

Our first Sunday back in the States, I went to church with my in-laws. I haven’t been to a church service in a very long time. This church was fairly traditional and followed a familiar pattern. I enjoyed the music which was a mixture of old hymns and modern choruses. Singing is what I miss most.

This week we attended a very different church, The Bridge. The church currently meets in a yoga studio. Prior to the church service, food and goods are distributed to the homeless and anyone in need.

The church service was conducted as if it it were a restaurant and the activities were menu items introduced by the faux French maitre d’, Pastor Jeff. This included prayer, a story, a rhythmic recitation, and a dance break.

It was a lot of fun and meaningful. There was something for everyone – stories, music, movement, art, and humor. Very multiple intelligence.
