I was wondering if your church still sing psalms at all? If so, how often and how many of them do you sing? Are they old-style Psalter psalms or more modern musical renditions?
In your church, who equips, encourages and empowers your members to live on mission (aka "do outreach", community engagement, etc.)?
Are you a deacon attending Synod this year? We'd love to hear from you!
Is there a disparity in what we pay those who serve in youth ministry?
What community outreach programs does your church have planned for this summer? Let's pray for each other.
If Graham is the model of political correctness, then I say to CRC clergy and members, "Say whatever you want. It is ok." Right?
This past week (May 29) Franklin Graham was in Fresno, CA, conducting a so-called prayer rally. He urged Christians to pray for politicians. But he became political when he said California was in trouble.
Our 100 year old pipe organ is showing its age. We would love input about a digital organ from those who have made this transition!
This post offers a link to four articles by Canadian writers on the upcoming synod of the CRCNA. The post also includes a conversation between Rev. Paul VanderKlay and Rev. Andrew Beunk.
I invite your feedback and discussion on the important topic of church life with regards to public life and engagement. Please read the letter below, sent by the Board of Kanata Community CRC.
Is your church hosting a Vacation Bible School (VBS) program this year? If so, I'd love to hear about it!
This Open Letter suggests that closing the Office of Social Justice misses the mark. What divides us is not the channels by which the denomination speaks to government and addresses politics. No, we divide on topics and what should be said.
...to Sunday school (or whatever you call it at your church)? That is no longer a theoretical question for me, because it happened at my church one Sunday in April.
I believe in the practice of tithing; let me share a brief history of how I got here, and some Biblical support.
Looking for ideas for the upcoming dedication of our sanctuary addition and remodel. Last similar post was from 2013.
I'm curious, what sights, smells, sounds, and tastes are you praising God for this spring?
It’s more blessed to give than to receive; but just how is blessing realized through giving? Who gets it? What does it look like? What do YOU think?
It's National Volunteer Week and this gives us a neat opportunity to name and thank those who are making a difference in our churches and communities. Who would you like to thank?
The Canadian Aboriginal Ministry Committee provides an opportunity for churches and individuals to become involved in grassroots, hands-on, relationship-building between CRC members and local aboriginal communities.
To whom are you accountable for your spiritual and moral life...besides God? The once-a-year elder visit (if it still exists) provides a superficial check list at best. Small groups, done properly, provide a setting for both spiritual growth and moral accountability.
What might two articles (one on interfaith relationships and one on evangelicals and feminists) in two different Reformed venues have to do with each other? Perhaps more than meets the eye.
This past Sunday, Easter Sunday, was the most dressed up that I've gotten for church in a long time. As I thought about this, I began to wonder: Am I missing out by becoming more and more casual in what I wear to church?
This past Saturday I noticed that thousands of young “March for our Lives” demonstrators marched on the streets of our cities but none in front of my church or other churches in the community. Why?
As Easter Sunday quickly approaches, I'd love to know: What song songs are you singing in your church, or in your car, or in your home?
Does a "visual schedule" or some other visual resource enhance possibilities for those of us who have autism? If so, does such a resource already exist for Protestant liturgy?
