The annual Churches By Bus tour will take place September 23, 2023. We still have one docent slot to fill, and would love to hear from a volunteer.
Your commitment: Be available on the day of the tour at the church site from 9:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. OR from 12:00 p.m to 2:30 p.m. In addition, come to a “Practice Day” on September 9 to view all of the churches on tour, become acquainted with your assigned church building, and work out logistics with your docent partners assigned to the same site (where to stand, how to move from place to place, etc.) Review written material developed by the tour directors and be ready to present the building’s architecture and history.
Our commitment: We will assign you to a church site and provide you with background information about the history of the building, its ornamentation inside and outside, its architects, windows, organ, etc. (You are free to expand on this by doing your own independent research.)
We have a blockbuster lineup of churches to share with our guests this year: Holy Family, St. Thomas the Apostle, First Church of Deliverance, and Second Presbyterian. They are notable for their age, important architects, interior design and windows, and innovations in church architecture. Our guests often return for this tour year after year since the churches selected are always a new group every year.
Please let us know if you are interested in helping us this year.
