Unusual worship experiences! Most unusual was my grandparent's church which met at a drive-in movie theater where we got to go to church in our pajamas and listen through a speaker in the window of the car. I also fondly remember worship around campfires in National Parks in western states. Lots of happy memories, and a deepened appreciation for worship.
