Can you imagine worshipping as the Puritans did?
I love the idea of worship that is simple, focused on God, and free from distraction. *Picture a service filled only with psalm singing, prayer, reading of the Word, and preaching. Imagine if there were no choir performance, no "special music", and no offering plate passed around.
The Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) is a denomination that has been around since the time of the Reformation. They are now planting congregations in North America. They have an order of worship that is unlike any other I have experienced. If *this sort of worship service interests you, (or if distinctives such as exclusive psalmody, Sabbath observance, and head coverings for women during public worship make your ears perk up) go to their home page: http://www.freechurchcontinuing.co.uk/index.htm
For more of the history of the Free Church click: ABOUT US for history and click CHURCH LOCATOR to find a congregation near you (more are being planted so keep checking back).
