Church on a Tuesday!
On the third Sunday of each month I go back to Trinity UMC to worship with them. This is the church that I have worked at for over ten years. Each third Sunday the young disciples lead the service, and I always want them to see me there supporting them. I had decided that since…

Early bird…
For years, whenever someone has asked me where I would go to church if I didn’t work at Trinity, I would say Union Church. I have watched their services online here and there for years, but had never actually stepped foot into their building until last Sunday. This year for Mother’s Day my family was…

The Pastor was already in the pulpit talking as the clock struck 10am. You…

Take Two!
Now that I know the correct service time for River Oak Church, I arrived promptly 10:20am. This gave me enough time to park and scope out which door that I should enter. [Side-note: Churches have a lot of doors, and most churches (all that I have visited so far) have not had signs to help…

Oh no, they know my name.
Springing forward is never fun for people like me who tend to always stay up late. However, knowing that I was going to get experience another new church put some much needed pep in my step! This particular Sunday (March 13th) was going to be a busy day for me. I was going to get…

Two churches in one…
On March 6th I started driving to Crosspoint Church which I had been told met in a separate building on the property of Forest Lawn Baptist Church. I had driven by there earlier in the week to see exactly where this building was so I would know where to park on Sunday. I pulled into…

Where to go first?
As I was preparing for my first church hopping experience I went to where everyone goes for answers… google! After searching for some time I noticed that there did not seem to be a completed list of churches in the Danville area. This caused me to pause, can I actually do this? How can I…
