I have recently started going back to church. I have always loved small country churches because i went to them w/my bigmama when i was a child.Everybody is so friendly& it is such a small congregation u soon know everyone if u didn't to start with. Two of my former customer & friends go there & have been going there all their life. Isn't that wonderful? The church i belong to has outgrown me. The last time i went there i did not enjoy it at all. I didn't know any of the songs they sang, noone welcomed me etc. They still sing all the old hymns i love at the one i'm going to now.
Sunday night they started a revival & had a pot luck supper before the preaching started. U TALK ABOUT SOME GOOD FOOD. gOOD OL' SOUTHERN COOKING & U never saw so much of it.It had been years since i had attended a potluck supper like that & i really did enjoy it. Of course i blew my diet again.lol. I was just wondering do any of u attend a small country church? I wish everyone could do that a few times.It's great!!

There's a place dear to me where I'm longing to be with my friends at the old country church. Precious years of memories, for the joy they bring to me. How I wish once more to be with my friends at the old country church. I was saved by Christ in a small country Church and continued for about five years. After that, I transferred to a new church where we belong to the pioneer members. It is growing and it's good to have a spiritual home where our spiritual life will grow by God's grace.

It is nice to go to a small church, the only thing is when some of them get in their little spats over things, it involves the whole church. It is a more at home feeling. I used to go to one, until one of the little spats disrupted the whole church and it turned into a mess.

Good morning Rob, thankls for your response. That has happened alot around here to. There is one denomination that has split up many of times & started a new church. It is sad when people can notget along especially in church. Have a good one.

Good morning...dear JO, you are up early! I do hope you slept!

I must admit..NO, I have NOT attended the ONLY church here, as a regular participant, as it is St. Andrews Anglican, a very English devout Church, but once about every 6 weeks they have a guest leader and I do attend when it is United!

It is a lovely little Church, about 80 years or more old.

JO...I am so terribly happy you are enjoying this outing, and enjoying the comfort and spirituality of the congregation...and that it is a safe place to make new friends and re-kindle old friendships. YOU GO GIRL...I am soooooo pleased you are happy there...and enjoying the good food, too! LUV & HUGZ!

Good morning my dear, good to hear from you. I bet the church there is beautiful, i love old buildings or anything that old. I am enjoying going. They really have some good cooks there , that's for sure. U have a good day. love & hugs to u.

Since relocating to my present residence I have been attending the village church which is only a stone throw from my house. It is a small church, more like a chapel and I see the same people every Sunday attending mass. It is a small community and mass is conducted by a catechist in the absence of a priest who only come once a month. Oh..yes, they do have potlucks once in a while which I enjoy very much as I get to taste the different dishes prepared by the parishioners. happy

Though I grew up in Suburbia that was slowly turning into city we still went to a little country church, at least by how it ran. There where at tops 10 families maybe 12 at one point. We met in a grange hall with a moose and caribou head on the back wall always in attendance and it was great. Everyone was close, every function was like being at a family event and since we moved I have done nothing but look for that same atmosphere. Unfortunately it seems I grew up in an unique setting church wise.

It sounds like a great church to go to. Wish u could find one like that where u live now. There is nothing like a small, country church in myopinion. Thanks for responding.

I always used go to small churches why because small people over there are very innocent and friendship with them cannot be replaced by others. Really the prey by that people make god happy.
I feel happy to go small church in small countries.

I love small country churches. I have been to a few throughout my life. I have also attended biggerr churchs in the city. If i have a choice, I would prefer the smaller country church. People there seem to go more out of their way for each other. It is is a comfort in times of need.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Hello & thanks for responding. I just don't think u can find the same things in a larger church that u do in a small country church.I agree, they do go out of their way to be nice. Hope ur day is going well.

I did go to a really small church for many years and really liked it. I am not into the kind of churches that do revivals and don't like them.

I'm not really much into "southern cookin'" either, what with my allergies I have to be so careful about food, and I don't like fried stuff much.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)   ranked 353 out of 32,950 in life  2 years ago

Hi Elic, I think small churches are great, i think. I much prefer then over a large church. I don't fry alot of things but i am a good southern cook if i do say so myself, lol. Thanks for your response.

Before my last move, I started attending mass in the nearby hospital chapel rather than the cathedral where I was supposed to go. I found it "warmer", for sure.

Good for u, Barb. I'm glad u found a good warm place to go. i THINK THAT MEANS ALOT. Thanks for your response & i hope u are having a good day.
