Denominational Diversity

Good Evening (Morning for those of you in the good ol' USA) and happy Easter once again! I had the privilege of making it to the Protestant sunrise Easter service this morning, and I remembered what I like the most about the Military chapel services.......denominational diversity! I went with a hand full of my fellow Customs Battalion Sailors, and we worshiped with about 500 other Christians. The congregation was filled with Baptists, Methodists, Church of Christ, Assembly of God, and Lutherans (just from the customs crowd). Further more, I saw members of all 4 services and the Coast Guard, and of every imaginable race (including Middle Eastern) all happily sitting together to celebrate the same risen Lord! I just thought that it was cool experience worth sharing.

I'll talk to you soon,
Zimm

Any black southern baptist? Those folks always make a Sunday morning service colourful. =-)

It has been a while since I've been to a truly mixed service.
