<p>Bookiemom,
I really appreciated your posting about your church’s work with the Tent City.
What denomination is the church?</p>

<p>So often, I see churches that seem to exist mainly to get things for themselves and their members such as spending a lot of time getting larger facilities, fancy organs (a church that I used to go to bragged that it had a $1 million organ. This was back in the 1980s when $1 million was $1 million). It’s nice to hear about a church that’s going the distance to help the less fortunate.</p>

<p>Thanks for your interest, Northstarmom. Our denomination is United Church of Christ, formerly called Congregationalists. But Tent City has been hosted by all different denominations. We are just the current hosts, and the ones who have had the most difficulty with our city government trying to stop it.</p>

<p>Thanks, Bookiemom for the info. I have heard nice things about the United Church of Christ. I didn’t realize they were formerly the Congregationalists, which was the church that my grandfather belonged to.</p>
