Celtic Sunday

I grew up in a very conservative family and attended a Conservative Baptist Church as a kid. You know the drill, no cards, no dancing, no movies, no adult beverages, no electric guitars and NO DRUMS. Now being a kid who loved to go to school dances and was a drummer, well you get my drift.

We went to church Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings. Oh and lets not forget the Midweek prayer service and week long evangelist services.

I was a drummer in a band in high school that played in churches all over the state, except for my church. Those electric guitars and drums were banned, and we didn't do hymns.

I say all of this to explain that I love attending a church that has a Celtic Sunday complete with Irish dancers and the music from the Celtic Knots. Wow, dancing in church. Even though it felt weird to me, it was very cool and a great time of worship. And, I didn't get hit by a bolt of lightning........

Pastor Glenn gave us the background to Christianity and the Celtic way. Seems St. Patrick's used their symbols and traditions to teach them about Christianity. What a great way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
