Ask the Question 3: More to come....

There are still a number of questions to which I have not yet time to  respond.  The responses to the following questions will appear here as I am able to make time:

• Why don't we share prayer concerns in worship?  Would this help with helping people feel connected?    See the post on Worship.
• How often do we change the outside banners and who decides what goes there?
• Beside the doxology, what is the most current change or improvement for "how we do church"?    See the March 8 Post
• What is the church leadership doing to prepare for the transitions of Rev. Carly's retirement in 2024?  --See the Guest Post by the Church Moderator
• The "revival at Asbury College makes me wonder what is the congregational stance on revivals?
• Can we stream/broadcast the coffee hour, or put up a zoom coffee hour for online participants?
• I have my beliefs that have sheltered, encouraged, and nourished me, but seeing how many people so openly "use" God as a weapon.  Are there that many or are they more vocal?
• There are 4 Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. But why isn't there a Gospel written according to Jesus?  Why didn't Jesus leave us something written my him, instead of leaving it to others to write various and at times conflicting versions of the Gospel?   See the post about the Bible.
• What is the difference between Lutheran, Presbyterian, and us regarding theology

  We ran out of time for a number of questions asked in worship on February 19. Here are responses to those questions.  Red questions were submitted on line.  Blue questions were hand written submissions from Sunday.

A quick reminder that these are my opinions. They do not represent any "official" position of First Congregational Church of La Grange, or of the United Church of Christ.
