SUMMARY:St Luke Lutheran Church - 4456 Morse Rd\, Columbus\, OH 43230
DESCRIPTION:St Luke Lutheran Church – 4456 Morse Rd\, Columbus\, OH 43230 \n  \nToday I really enjoyed spending time with Pastor Mike and Pastor Kris at St. Luke’s for their 10:00am contemporary service.  They do also have traditional Lutheran services offered at both 8:30am and 11:00am for those who prefer a more traditional approach to your worship.  To me that was the unique thing about this church.  It understands the transition between the two styles for older vs a younger membership.  Interestingly\, I recently discovered that “contemporary” worship styles are credited to Gen X.  This contemporary style is becoming much more popular among all churches I’ve noticed and seems to be the prominent style of the day that draws more membership. \nI was graciously given a tour of the church by Karen.  This church is active within both the local community and the international community with various outreach programs.  They also have a Tuesday Bible study at both 9:00am and 7:00pm for those who work during the day.  I noticed that this church has a much larger active youth group with an exception being the Vineyard.  It seems that gathering new young membership is really tough these days for churches around the district.  Not only that\, but Covid really has socially stifled many church memberships including this one.   Many of them offer online worship still even though Covid was more visible back in 2020-2021.  It seems the quicker a church decided to open its doors for in person worship the better it has survived and kept an in-tact membership.  The true purpose of church is in the fellowship a church can offer to its members and to its community.  That is why in person services and participation is so very important to keep churches alive.  They truly hold a very important role in local communities. \nThe other striking thing about this church was its church band had one of the most beautifully talented lead singers.  Her passion for music reached out through the services and the congregation.  Although the church also has a more traditional church choir for its more traditional membership services.  The more churches I visit the more difficult it will be to decide which congregation I fit best with.  Karen gave me a term for my church tour.  She said it was “church hopping.”  Many people do this when looking for a new church to become a part of when they have decided to get more involved with their communities and their walk with spirituality in the Christian version of their spiritual path.

SUMMARY:Maize Rd Baptist Church
DESCRIPTION:– 4251 Maize Rd\, Columbus\, OH 43224 \nSunday services begin at 10:45am. \n  \nAnother big thank you to Maize Baptist Church today for having me as a guest within their congregation today. Pastor Sean was super welcoming and it was a pleasure to meet church members like Margie\, Kathy\, and Deacan Keith. Great service. Pastor Sean has a wonderful sense of humor. He is definitely a former military guy. The most interesting point about this church is that it didn’t stay closed as long as others did during the Covid period. This boosted their membership in a positive way. It is a vibrant church community which houses at least 3 other ethnic churches including African\, and South American origins. \nHousing multiple church denominations seems to be a theme with many churches of the day as I continue my church tour.  Resources are scarce for everyone these days.  Coming together is what it is all about.  As some would say\, “that is what Jesus would do.”  This church also does have more youth involvement than some of the previous churches I have visited.  I think introducing young people to spiritualty and faith are important foundations to developing our youth into well-adjusted members of our society. \nThis church also has an array of community events and bible study for both men and women.

SUMMARY:Faith Covenant Church Visit
DESCRIPTION:Busy weekend this past weekend.  My Sunday visit with the congregation of Faith Covenant Church was delightful.  They currently have the largest active membership I’ve seen thus far.  The church has been around since the early 1980’s and has had multiple locations in its history.  However\, this church has been at it’s current location at 3607 Dempsey Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081.  When I first walked in they were very welcoming.  I was offered a breakfast buffet of coffees\, teas\, and bagels as soon as I arrived.  Interestingly this church is currently going through a pastor transition so pastor Steve was standing in for the next several weeks until they can find a permanent pastor.  His message was about the importance of prayer in your life. \nThe building was lovely and this congregation also shared their building with another church that had services shortly after the 10:30am service that Faith Covenant has on Sundays.  One thing that I found delightful was that after the service the congregation had a fellowship style potluck.  It was an opportunity to sit down and get to know the members in that church community.  The common thing that each church has expressed is that covid has really scared away their members from coming back to regular services.  They are all also having difficulty growing with new members because of this.  I also found that finding a new pastor is also a challenge because in today’s world people are looking for money rather than community service in their lives.  It’s an interesting double-edged sword local communities are facing.

SUMMARY:Thank you to Epworth United Methodist Church!
DESCRIPTION:I’ve been quite busy this week working to get the word out about my campaign into the community.  I would like to give special thanks to Pastor Jennifer at Epworth United Methodist Church for allowing me to come in and visit her congregation and to attend services with them on this past Sunday! \nIf you are looking to find this church they are located at 5100 Karl Rd\, Columbus\, OH 43229.  Their Sunday services begin at 10:30am.  For the record\, more people need to get back to attending church in person.  There is something to be said about in person fellowship which Covid interrupted.  I encourage people to get back into their communities again.  It’s so important to connect with one another in this way. \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:Blendon Community Fellowship & New Testiment Church at Blendon Woods – 4481 East Dublin-Granville Rd.\, Westerville\, OH 43081. \n  \nFabulous morning with the Blendon Community Fellowship & the New Testiment Church at Blendon Woods. Two churches co-exist there at the northeastern edge of district 9. The services were on target with a perfect message of the day. A big thank you to both pastors for having me and to their welcoming congregations. I was taken on a tour of the church. They hold Sunday services at 9:30am\, 11:00am and a 6:30pm. There is 7:00pm Bible study on Tuesdays\, and they also have a Thursday evening service. This church also has a food program to help its members who may be struggling with feeding their families. This is the kind of coming together of community we all need to get back to. A big thank you to them.
