The Church
|
The church is the place where the congregations gather
together in worship, the Bible is read, the Word of God is preached and the
sacraments of Holy Communion and Baptism are celebrated. The church is entered through a porch formed by the
base of the tower. New needs and different styles of worship frequently
require changes to be made, so do not be surprised if what you see in church
differs from what is presented here. |
