Surely, no altar or pulpit.<br /><br />I guess it does not matter where you worship, and I am more future-oriented than past, but I miss church steeples, stained glass and robes (so tired of jeans and tee-shirted preachers). anniesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055158895801812807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-62388713068026777002009-08-28T13:56:21.101-05:002009-08-28T13:56:21.101-05:00Having just moved our place of worship from a shop...Having just moved our place of worship from a shopping mall to a barn, I can say that many more people from the outside (those that belong to no church or those who attend "mall-like" churches) are intrigued by the fact that we now worship in a barn. Now, we have all the "trappings" of a church, an altar, a pulpit, a baptismal font (located at the entrance), etc. There are those who were members that said they would never worship in a barn...they have chosen to "move on" to places that are prettier or where they can have it their way. Those who remain say they are humbled to come into the presence of our Lord. He started in a lowly stable and we now worship Him in a barn...no...we worship in the House of God.Rev.
