We went back to Apex a couple Sunday’s ago, and this time we actually made it into the grown up service

In short, we liked it.

A lot.

Here are a few reasons why:

• Rather than building a new warehouse anctuary, they moved into an existing building previously occupied by a baptist church. I like the recycling.
• The first song was written by a member of the congregation. The second was a hundred year old hymn. Furthermore, four verses of the hymn were sung, and none were of the "Praise God (ad nausuem)" variety, such as gets tacked into Amazing Grace so often.
• The preacher had an edge to his sense of humor that I’m pretty suer would draw gasps from some other churches in the area.
• In front of the old baptismal were a dozen or so canvases with a variety of art painted, I suspect, by members of the congregation.

Apex has a place on our short list.
