The Search is On

Now that we have all of the basics covered, it's time to cover another basic: the Church Search.  I stopped by one down the street from us: Disciples of Christ.  Nice people, true word, but not our scene.  The congregation wasn't quite right (mostly senior), and the music left a not so wonderful taste in my mouth.   Traditional hymns, overly dramatic singing by folks with, well, the heart was there, anyway.  Very hard to handle that song worship compared to All Saints Church, which, thanks to Scott, has very kicking, wonderful, relevant music. 
 
Most of the churches around us are denominational of various flavors: Baptist, Catholic, etc.  Places that are closer to All Saints doctrinally are more outside of town.  There is one in town that might look like the next candidate: Capitol Foursquare Church.  We are totally clueless about denominations, but from the website this looked like an okay vibe.  I will likely scout out for us next Sunday, but I would welcome any input on this.
 
In related home-decorating news, I originally placed our crucifix next to the door, just because that is where the pre-existing nail was that fit the loop.  I wanted it to be over the door for symbolic reasons--walking beside vs. walking beneath (submission, etc.).  Last night D. moved it over the door--he didn't say anything to me about it, just did it.  That meant a lot to me--thanks.

Over the door is a very catholic place for it. What are you, Irish?

As a matter of fact, there is part of me that is Irish (my maternal grandmother's side?). I'm so much of a Euromutt that I don't really know how much.
