There is one of these up the street at the Public School.

the thing I can’t figure out is how they can have Church in a Public School Building on sunday, when the Kids aren’t allowed to pray there during the week?:confused:

It’s probably OK because the school system is receiving “rent” money…

Also, it is my understanding that as long as schools are considered community property (i.e. local school board) they are free to open their doors to any community activity, so long as the protections are there for separation of religion and school.

There are a bunch of these in my town. Some are moving into new buildings as they are built.

As an aside, in this area we have several large churches that call themselves “an SBC Fellowship” instead of calling themselves Southern Baptist, for fear of scaring off moderate and more liberal Christians.
 
Oh and the latest postcard I got, the church’s tag line is this:

A church that fits like a great pair of jeans :eek:
I think there must be company selling the same postcards to all of these churches! 😉 They all sound so similar.

There is a Church near here in a converted movie theatre.
They have a large sign along the Highway that says:

“The Church for People Who Don’t Like Church”.

:whacky: :hypno: :whacky:

This certainly makes sense.

I just get a kick out of the whole “seperation” thing whenever I see a Church in a School or a Polling Place in a Church.

Ah well…America - Love it and laugh at it…Ther’s nothing like her.

One of our bigger non-denoms started that way, in an old movie theatre. Then they bought a bunch of warehouses & converted those. The church has a very industrial feel to it obviously.

Every June they have a Poker Run, & my dh told me someone he knows that attends this church said that this year the group Bad Company will be playing at the church during the Poker Run! I don’t believe it myself but who knows~:eek:

Not trying to convince anyone. Saying it’s stupid is my opinion.
It’s stupid.
My unstated point is that many Protestants are really lost. They don’t know where to go. This is very dangerous for the entire body of Christ. Folks are making up their own stuff because they are like lost sheep. I’ve been there and know what’s happening. I’ve been Catholic since I was baptized at 14 months old. jumping over teen converstion I ended up much later and many events joining the Army. It’s easy to get lost. If you leave the Church you will most certainly be and feel lost. You may not admit it, but I believe it’s true. We forget where we’ve been. I often wonder how that affects culpabiliity.
 
Unless the teaching isn’t about God at all and it’s all hype.

and the signature line of yours… you do know that Nephi is a fictional character, don’t you?

in Christ

Nearly ALL the characters in the BOM are fictional.:cool:

I joked with dh that maybe Father should do an exorcism before Mass every week since we are in a hs cafeteria. 😃

That’s not such a bad idea, considering the “occult” stuff that hs kids get into, these days. Who knows what’s been going on in there, during the week? :highprayer: :crossrc:
 
I noticed that a lot of protestant communities in my area have completely seperate “churches” within the community.
For example, DH’s parents portestant community has the more “traditional” worship on Sunday mornings (first service, break, sunday school and then second service) with a more “hip” “modern” service in the evening. In fact, there is a link to the group that is using the “worship space” on the main website, but it seems to be it’s own entity.

A young friend of mine left the Catholic Church for New Life, and she said they function in much the same way. The “church campus” (she called it a campus) has the main worship space (to fit several thousand) and then smaller worship spaces for the various “ministries” so everyone can worship accordingly (whatever that means).

I don’t get it and I don’t like it.
