Re: Ask about Judaism

I have a question for you. Do they use musical instruments in the synagogue service? It seems like I have heard that they don't.

Re: Field Report: Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

I have been attending a DOC that has 2 services, a contemporary and a traditional. The traditional has a piano and organ and a choir. I like having the two services to choose from and we switch up.

Re: Lads to Leaders

My kids participated in this and I always hated it. Now, none of them even goes to any church, so it was a total waste of time. They participated in puppet shows.

I am New Here

Obviously, we had been attending a more liberal coc. We are planning to attend the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Telling our children is not a...
