Visit to local community church

Scottish Bluebells

Last Sunday we visited a local community church that is known for it's traditional worship style. We were not disappointed. All the songs selections were familiar to us and very inspirational.

The preaching was not the best we have heard, but also not the worst. It was biblically based and the style was easy listening. But we must say that the pastor had some nervous habits that were distracting at times. He often rubbed his hands together and waved them around and gestured almost to the distraction of what he was trying to say.

The song leader and the pastor made comments of a personal nature (sort of inside jokes) that made us feel like outsiders at times.

The facilities were wonderful and very comfortable. Though we did have trouble locating the main entrance and ended up coming in the door at the front of the sanctuary. Fortunately we weren't the only ones entering that way.

The congregation was neither overly friendly nor cold. We thought perhaps they were accustomed to visitors so we weren't an oddity. All in all it was a pleasant experience and we may visit again soon.

We are encouraged by the depths of worship we are encountering in our area. Makes our hearts soar to know that our Lord is praised in many ways around here. We recommend that you also take the time to visit around where you live and see what God is doing in your midst.
