A Christian Reformed Church service is completely different than a Catholic mass. I had been going to Palos Heights CRC since the beginning of the year and noticed that they celebrate the Lord’s Supper about once a month with pieces of bread and sparkling grape juice.

While there is no accurate consensus of their size in Egypt, numerous accounts place them between 8 to 12 percentages of Egypt's current population.2 And may be more. Actually, Coptic people

creative moments of any artist's imagination. In turn, artists use their inspiration to create the various elements of culture such as music and literature. Because music is a temporal commodity, culture can be captured and made to serve God in Christian worship; however, God can never be captured and made to serve culture. This fundamental truth constantly eludes the thinking of pastors and church leaders today. Today's Church no longer ministers in Elizabethan territory, yet churches stubbornly
