Today we celebrate Fourth Week of Lent

"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:16-18

Thankful Thursday

Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.

Acts 20:28

As I briefly mentioned earlier, I have begun “church shopping” here in Atlanta.  Today I am not only thankful that I live in a country where I can pick which church I go to, but I am thankful for all the options that Atlanta has to offer!  I was unable to find a church home where I felt comfortable in North Carolina, and so far I’ve visited 2 churches that I have really enjoyed – The Cathedral of St. Philip and Saint Martin In The Fields Church.  While they were both Episcopalian churches, they each had their own distinctive style (which is one of the things I love about the Episcopalian church – lots of different styles, but they all have the liturgy and doctrine in common).  I think I’m going to look around a bit more, just to make sure I’m not missing anything, but at the moment I’m leaning toward St. Philip’s.

I think this week I will visit St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church.  I also might visit St. Anne’s Episcopal Church, though it is a little further away from my house.  Anyone in the Atlanta area have any suggestions?

    how wonderful to have so many great churches where you are you are so right however I did learn that in Canada there are not as many churches available to those who are worshiping our prayer is that more churches will be built where they are needed

      That is a shame that there are not more options in Canada – my prayers will be with those working towards church building in Canada!
