Today Tom and I worshiped at the Druid Hills United Methodist Church. The name is unusual for a United Methodist Church – after all, what do Druids have to do with United Methodists? But I will explain that in a future post about Tuscaloosa. Despite its name, Druid Hills UMC is a normal United Methodist …
From Worship Experiences
St. Mark’s United Methodist Church
Yesterday, before Tom and I left Anniston AL, we went to worship at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church. St. Mark’s was the closest UMC to where we were staying, and we needed to get on the road. There were two worship services at St. Mark’s and we picked the early service at 9 a.m. On …
First United Methodist Church, Adrian
Yesterday we went to worship at First United Methodist Church, Adrian. First United Methodist is on the west side of town, close to Adrian College. The church was established in 1863 (the cornerstone from that first building was in the garden) but the current building looks more like it was built in the 1980’s. There …
Grass Lake United Methodist Church
Yesterday Tom and I attended worship at Grass Lake United Methodist Church. Grass Lake, the town, is a village of just slightly over 1,000 on the shores of Grass Lake in between Ann Arbor and Jackson Michigan. It is just south of where we have been camping for the last week. Even though the village …
Going to Church on Sundays
I haven’t written about my worship experiences for a couple of weeks because 1) We went back to Linworth for the third time and 2) Worship was incidental to my Dad’s birthday party last week. But going to church on Sundays – worshipping with the Body of Christ – is extremely important to me, and we have been …
Visiting Westminster Presbyterian
Yesterday Tom and I took a walk on the wild side and visited a Presbyterian Church – Westminster Presbyterian in New Concord Ohio. We came to Zanesville to spend time with our friend Karen Graham and she was preaching yesterday in a pulpit exchange at Westminster Presbyterian, so that is where we went. Westminster Presbyterian …
A Second Visit to Linworth UMC
On Sunday we returned to Linworth UMC for worship. We had visited here on July 13 (read about it here) and really enjoyed it. This time we went with John and Jackie. Linworth is only a mile from their house. We enjoyed our second visit even more than the first. The sanctuary at the 10:15 …
Visiting Tallmadge UMC
Yesterday we visited Tallmadge UMC. Rev. Bill Liming is a friend and I was looking forward to hearing him preach. After the problem with the worship time last week, I made sure the website was current. Not only is it a beautiful web site, but it also has an upcoming column where they had worship times …
The Church Website
Yesterday Tom and I prepared to visit a church that shall remain nameless in this post. It is a nice little church located in the Akron area. One of my friends is pastor at the church. Saturday I looked up the service time on the church website and found it listed as 11. Sometimes I …
Visiting Linworth UMC
Since we were in Columbus house-sitting, Tom and I decided to attend Linworth UMC on Sunday for worship. Linworth is a large congregation (three full-time pastors!) about half a mile from John and Jackie’s house. There are three worship services, two traditional services at 9 and 11:30, and a contemporary service in between at 10:15. …
