looks like an interesting book. Thanks

Okay, I thought Lutheran was always closed communion. I have very limited experience with Catholic mass. I have attended exactly two Catholic services and one was a funeral. They had the Eucharist during the funeral service and only members of that parish came forward to receive it. i...

We did our staff meeting online today which was really different. Then I went to the library and took back a book I finished last night

Who is in it?

I'm a little confused, you say you don't support the practice of "closed communion" but that is my understanding of what Lutherans do as well? I believe we have had that conversation before. I thought in the Catholic church you had to be a member of the parish of the priest who was serving...

Do they call and harass you also after they send you the marketing stuff they want your opinion on? I think I did something like that years ago. I didn't think it was worth my time

close to that. It was founded about 100 years ago. Obviously things have changed a lot since then in the community

Going to do an assessment this morning with a new client

I'm not sure what you mean by "was the community built around the church". It is a traditional church setting and no they don't have a coffee shop. My point was that when the economy changed and a big employer in the area left that most of the people left with it. Thus, a church that in the...

welcome

I'm sure there is something to that. Though the church I am thinking about still has a lot of homes near it. I think this sometimes happens also when the community the church is in changes in demographics such as it was a white community 30 years ago and now is mainly either Hispanic or black...

I've noticed also the churches that are growing seem to be more due to the amount of programs that the church has particularly for kids. I don't know of any churches that are growing that don't have contemporary services.

Why is it that it seems so many churches are dying or in decline? Many that I have visited in my area only have elderly adults in them and almost no children. Some have not baptized anyone in years. One particular church that I know of has a three story building for education space and it is...
