I can not speak for ithem but I am a Christian first. Denomination is not important as long as they teach the Bible, word by word. I have been a Southern Baptist for decades. My late mom was a member of a tiny Primitive Baptist Church as a kid. She lived from 1904-2007 so people went to the closest church. We attended Baptist, Methodist, Church of God, Assembly of God, Church of God of Prophecy, etc. We had friends/ relatives who attended those churches and invited us. I have been to churches with less than a hundred to mine, now, which has thousands of members. God is/was in each. Some had pastors who had other jobs. They knew the Bible though. We were truly blessed.

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

[Elsie]

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who

fled to thy protection,

implored thy help

or sought thy intercession,

was left unaided.

 

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother;

 to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful;

 O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,

 but in thy mercy hear and answer me,

 

 Amen.
