An Introduction to The Church

What is “Church”, anyway? Everywhere you turn nowadays there are advertisements for Christian worship services (often not even using the word “church”), promising all sorts of experiences. Well, we think a historical perspective is in order.

So, here’s what we’re up to: On Friday, February 15^th, and Saturday, February 16^th, we are going to be sponsoring a seminar at our parish. The seminar will give you clear, intelligent answers to questions like these:

· Why are there so many different Christian groups?
· Which group is the original group?
· Why should that make a difference?
· How can I tell what is true?
· How many versions of the Bible are there?
· Which style of worship is the most authentic?
· Why are there so many different ideas about salvation?

But we also want you to know what isn’t going to happen during this seminar:

· There are no fees; no offering will be collected.
· You will not be asked to share any personal information other than your name.
· There will be no altar calls.
· You will not be pressured to make a decision about anything.

It may all sound too good to be true, but it’s all on the up and up: we just want to give people accurate, solid information about the Church. If you have questions—or if you just want to check us out before making a decision to attend—you are welcome to come by and visit with us at St John the Forerunner Orthodox Church. We are located at 800 West Park in Cedar Park; our phone number is 258-1711. Following is a schedule for the seminar—we hope you’ll find it interesting, and we hope to see you there.
