Week 190 - Church and Cross Photo Collection - 04-04-2010

Church and Cross Collection,

Each Sunday during our big adventure we seek out a church to attend. We have attended over 100 churches throughout the USA and Canada. As soon as you step inside you immediately feel "at home". And the message at all of them is the Easter message of resurrection. It seems appropriate to present this collection of some of these churches on this Easter Sunday, 2010.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 Calvary Chapel, Pueblo, Colorado

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Luke 3:21-22 National Cathedral, Washington, D.C.
