We visited Dayspring Native American United Methodist Church in East Peoria, Illinois on Sunday, March 2. We were told about this church from a friend that we met at a Baha'i celebration. He had just visited and thought we'd find it interesting as well!

On Sunday, October 27th we visited First Church of the Brethren in Peoria, Illinois. We picked this church after Kate went to a play there for a friend the week prior! Like so many, this was a church we had driven by lots of times but knew very little about.

This visit to the Ephraim Moravian Church was a solo visit for Katie while she was in Door County, Wisconsin. This visit turned into a 7 hour deep dive into the history of the Moravian Church and it was fascinating! For someone who always thought Martin Luther was the leader in the Protestant movement, I was so surprised at what I learned!

Although Kate had been in the church many times for her weekly Rotary Club of Peoria meetings, neither of us had been to a service at First United Methodist Church of Peoria. We had hoped to go to their Traditional Service but the heat was out in the chapel so they held it in their more contemporary space. We still had a lovely time and after our podcast, Pastor Tim Ozment was very gracious in sharing it and communicating more with us.
