Took mum to church. All the myth symbols kind of of freak me out but mum likes it. I grew up in that church so I contemplated all the changes. There's less pews. The wings on the sides have been removed and on one side is a place for music, and on the other is a little play area. A little girl made use of it tonight. She was dressed up in a Norwegian embroidered dress, very cute. They have a stand on which there's bags filled with Christian books and quiet activities for the kids to play with while sitting in the pews too. That's really nice. All the kids there were dressed up in Christmas finery brought back memories.
