We went to a presbyterian church this morning. We ran a little late and had to park a couple of blocks away missing the first 15-20 minutes of the service. It's been a while since I've been inside a traditionally designed sanctuary. I was surprised at how the stained glass and bronze memorial plaques had an impact on me. Something connected within me when I saw the colorful art of the large stained glass windows adoring the walls of the church. The choir did a really good job with the anthem.

We went to a Baptist church yesterday (May 14, 2006). I appreciated that the service was at 11am. We got to sleep in a little and didn't have to feel rushed. Nice. There were just under 50 adults in attendance. Here are my observations.

The Life Centre, Ottawa Canada,

This morning (May 7, 2006) we attended the 9am service of a popular Pentecostal church in East Ottawa. Just as I did last Sunday at the WCA church, I wanted to see this church from the eyes and ears of someone who did not know Christ. It was a bit difficult since I did know most of the people on staff at this church and several of the members who attend. But laying aside those factors, the following is what I observed:

WCA church

Last Sunday (April 30, 2006), our family along with my cousin's family decided to visit a church we had heard about in our neighborhood. It is a Willow Creek Association church which has been meeting in a French elementary school just a few blocks away from our house. I was intrigued because it was the first church in Orleans (our suburb in Ottawa) that I knew of that was connected to Willow Creek.

Thanks, Elaine. It worries me that the Bible is treated as a self-help book and not as a living document whose real purpose is to point us to Jesus. I think this issue may be one of the things that...

Has anyone else noticed that Joel's underlying thrust (ie. live your "best life now") is plagiarized straight from Oprah? Or did Oprah get it from Joel?
