typical lackluster presbyterian church; bible is read, but not interpreted for adults; kids sermon is down-to-earth; stuffy anglo saxon white community

i agree w/the first rater; preaching jumps all over the place and yet congregation thinks the preaching is wonderful. I don't know why as there's an outreach church across the street where preaching is biblically based and relevant - readers should go there; i think the name of the church is The Bridege Christian Church.
Messenger,
I'm just amazingly curious as to why, if you find the church so ... unattractive--why do you keep going? You noted yourself as regular attender. Have you stopped attending now? Is it sort of a comfortable habit? I'd love to hear more about that.
Attending here was a mistake. The preacher wings it but in doing so, never completes a thought. I couldn't follow his theme as there wasn't one.
My husband and I were excited to find attend this church as we had recently moved to Dubuque and we are (were) Presbyterians. The building stands tall on the corner and from what we learned from the PCUSA web site, the church appeared to be a good fit for us.
Sadly, the deliverance of the sermon left a lot to be desired in that the speaker could not stay on course. Perhaps IF he stood at the pulpit and used notes, the tendency to bounce around a topic might be reduced; as it was, two Sunday's in a row, the sermon was unclear and the scripture that was read, was not used during one of the sermons. The other sermon used the daily scripture, but the points were obscured by an incoherent delivery.
No one spoke to us, even tho we signed the visitor's book and passed it down the aisle both times we attended.
We will not go back unless we hear that the pastorship has changed.
