The Puritans didn’t have anything in their worship service that wasn’t mentioned in the Bible. So there weren’t any prayer books or hymns. There wasn’t an altar with candles. There wasn’t any heat, either, so some people brought little foot warmers filled with burning coals. We kids sat with the women and were expected to keep quiet. The only time we got to open our mouths was to sing psalms and say “Amen.”
“This doesn’t look like a church--it looks more like a storeroom.”
“It is a storeroom. But the building isn’t important. It is the people who are the church.”
“Children--hush!
