In my neck of the woods five UCC congregations have departed from the denomination: two to the Evangelical Covenant Church, one each to the Reforemd Church in America and Reformed Presbyterian; and one strictly independent. There is at least one other “in the pipeline”.
What I found amazing when delivering Christmas Free Dinner flyers to food banks is that
the Jason Lee Methodist Church (It’s an old landmark here.)
has two other churches in it.
Slavic Baptist
and
Mennonite Hispanic.
Figure that one out, huh?
