Ecclesia

On Sunday, I visited the church Ecclesia. I think Ecclesia is the Greek word for "church." Amy's sister Lindsey goes there. She started going there about a year ago, and now she interprets the services for a couple friends that are deaf. The worship service was at 10:30 AM. There was Sunday school at 9:30 AM, but I didn't go to that. Tony didn't go with me, I just went by myself.

I liked the service alot. It isn't a church that "condemns" people like some of the other churches I have been too. The sermon was on how the Jews had to follow The Law perfectly before Jesus came, but when Jesus came he said that no one could follow it perfectly. So he kind of went over a way of looking at Jesus's death as giving us freedom from trying to be perfect like the Bible tells us to be. I like the message alot. Also, the music was good. It was kind a combination of hymns and other contemporary songs.


I decided to go after Lindsey told me about it, and I looked at the website. They have lots of good programs available...they have a couples sunday school, couples bible study, and a 20's and 30's group. I thought it was good that they have both couples and 20's & 30's because sometimes I don't like the idea of couples classes. So I thought it was nice to have both options.

At the church service, it seemed like there were a lot of kids there, so that is the only think I didn't like. Hopefully not all the couples there have children. I'll probably go a couple more times to feel it out and then invite Tony to come and see if he likes it.
