The National Shrine is a must-see for Roman Catholics visiting Washington, DC. In addition to the enormous upper church and lower crypt church, there are dozens of small chapels, each dedicated to various nations. Architecture is beautiful, especially the tiled mosaics and stained glass of the upper church. Also not to be missed are the marble saint sculptures outside the crypt church on the lower level and the chapel of Ireland in the rear of the upper level.

Church of the Epiphany is smack dab in the middle of downtown, and that works for this parish with a long and interesting history, because it draws people from all over the metro area. The membership is not huge, and because of that, there is a real sense of community here. The church is very diverse and sponsors programs reflecting that -- not just on Sundays, but throughout the week. You'll notice that Epiphany could use some interior cosmetics, and that's because this church focuses most of its money on reaching out to the homeless and others. An 8 a.m. service on Sundays attracts many of the homeless in the neighborhood, and a breakfast is served to them after that service. The next service is at 11.

I have been to Capitol Hill Pres Church twice now. Both times I enjoyed how friendly the greeters were, and even though it was a very small congregation I didn't really feel that awkward new person feeling you get at some churches. The service is fairly traditional, and I like a more contemporary service so it isn't where I will probably continue to go. I also would like a bigger congregation, with alternative fellowship and worship oppurtunities as well as mission oppurtunities. I'm not sure if Capitol Hill Pres Church had that, it wasn't well "advertised" if they did. But I have really really enjoyed the sermon that was given both times. The congregation is very friendly and welcoming, as well. And the church itself is very beautiful.
