No great theological treatise today – just an observation. We have a lot of churches in our downtown area.

I walk all over Cedar Rapids over my lunch hour and always notice the proliferation of church buildings in various denominations:Presbyterian, Catholic, Episcopal, non-denominational, inter-denominational, and more. You want it, it’s here somewhere.

My trusty iPhone camera captured a few as I was walking in recent days

St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church

Westminster Presbyterian Church

Bethel A.M.E. Church

Immaculate Conception Catholic Church

Veritas Church

I’m sure I’ll be taking more church photos. I find something inspiring about seeing the places where God’s children worship, where the Body of Christ comes together to learn and grow and become equipped for service in the Kingdom of God.

I hope you have a church home. The building may not be magnificent but if the Word is preached and you feel a part of the community of believers, it’s a good place.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:24-25‬ ‭NIV‬‬
