Did you ever wonder about the origins many present-day Christian practices? This Sunday I will begin a three part series on the origin of the present day Christian traditions & practices. I will be looking at how some practices many of us grew up with, compare to 1st Century Christian practices. Over time we have come to think that some of these now mainstream practices have always been the norm in Christianity. I think you’ll be surprised to learn of the origins of many of the rituals and practices that have become mainstream.
This Sunday I will be focusing on Sunday Morning costumes & rituals.
I will be exploring the inner construction of the church buildings, Sunday morning costumes and rituals Do you know why priests ministers dress in robes? Do you know the origin of why you were told to dress up for church? Why do churches have pews? These questions and more will be answered this Sunday. I look forward to sharing these ideas with you.

This Sunday I will be focusing on The House of Worship. Why do churches look the way that they do? What’s the origin of church buildings? What did the first Christian church look like?
In the weeks to come I will also be exploring the inner construction of the church buildings, Sunday morning costumes, rituals and the communion ritual. Do you know why priests ministers dress in robes? Do you know the origin of why you were told to dress up for church? Why do churches have pews? These questions and more will be answered in the weeks to come. I look forward to sharing this with you.

Are you experiencing any change in your life? Maybe it’s a new job. Maybe it’s a job search forced upon you. In these times, relationships are under tremendous pressures: financial, personal, physical, and spiritual. Change comes in all forms and sizes for all of us, whether we are children, teens or adults. Maybe it’s the change of a child going to a new school. Or maybe the change is for you as a parent sending that child off to school. Maybe you’re a teen who hasn’t made the basketball team this year. Maybe you’re an adult starting over after a divorce. Maybe it’s a time of unemployment and financial turmoil.
Since we are all experiencing some kind of change during these times, I have chosen a book for all of us to read and reflect on for the first two Sundays in January. The book is titled Who Moved My Cheese? -Rev. Bill

Who Moved My Cheese? Part 1 of 2
Are you experiencing any change in your life? Maybe it’s a new job. Maybe it’s a job search forced upon you. In these times, relationships are under tremendous pressures: financial, personal, physical, and spiritual. Change comes in all forms and sizes for all of us, whether we are children, teens or adults. Maybe it’s the change of a child going to a new school. Or maybe the change is for you as a parent sending that child off to school. Maybe you’re a teen who hasn’t made the basketball team this year. Maybe you’re an adult starting over after a divorce. Maybe it’s a time of unemployment and financial turmoil.
Since we are all experiencing some kind of change during these times, I have chosen a book for all of us to read and reflect on for the first two Sundays in January. The book is titled Who Moved My Cheese?
It is a book I read years ago that I find especially relevant for all of us. Whatever change we’re going through I believe this book and the two weeks we all (children, teens and adults) spend reading and talking about this book will result in a greater awareness of how we are presently dealing with change and alternatives to how we deal with change. This book comes in versions for children, teens and adults. They are available in the bookstore.
