Church In America

I love going to church and Sunday School, and spent almost every Sunday in either the First 
Christian Church, where I was Baptised, or as a gues with some friends in Methodist, and Baptist churches. In those years, all churches had a choir, and I indeed sang every Sundy in the Childrens choir or the Youth choir. We won many guest appearance awards. Then when I was 17, I joined the USNavy, and on board a Destroyer, all we had was a vacant bunker where any of us could hold our prayer meetings. But there was very little music. After that, I married into the Catholic religeon, and attendance was rare to none. My second marriage started off in small Baptist churches, some had wonderful preachers who had a lot of passion for Jesus and his way. But the music was beginning to change, choirs started dwindling, and the music was starting to be taken over by wannabe rock stars who had mostly spent Saturday nights singing in a band at a local tavern, and Sunday mornings they had to do their best to make it through their hang overs. 
A few years later, the "bands" grew, choirs started to disappear, and church attendance shrank to what it is today. It is sad, because the choir is as much a part of church as a good preacher, and I miss it. There are still a few of the larger churches who have wonderful choirs, and their church attendance has grown considerably because of the 

rock stars trying to take over  any opportunity to show their stuff.  So now I go to the larger churches, 
Baptist here in the Fort Dix area, but if one looks around, you can find a beautiful church without the guitars and drums and bass players, and wondefful choir and even youth qchoir, that will melt your heart, and give you reason for living a lot better in the comeing weeki.

Merry Christmas everybody, this being Christmas Day 2015.

Why not start the year out by finding one of these beautiful traditional churches the 

first sunday of 2016.
