I am so excited that I finally found a church. For those of who have responded to my previous posts, you know that I was looking for a church that felt like "home". Well, I finally found one last Sunday. I was looking online, found it, and called them. They said they were a small church, which was exactly what I was looking for. I don't like big churches with hundreds of people because it just doesn't feel comfortable to me. So anyways, we went to church last Sunday and it was great. I really felt welcome there. Everyone shook my hand, introduced themselves, and were very friendly. The preacher was great, and not boring like some other preachers I have encountered. He also told me he would love to see us again. So this Sunday, we are going again, and probably every Sunday for the rest of my life. I am so glad I finally found a church that I can call home. Just wanted to let all of my mylot friends know.

Thats wonderful news and even though i found my church long ago as a devout Roman Catholic i am happy to see that you are so excited about it I hope it lives up to everything you want and that it never makes you devout Now live the life the church preaches and you are on the way to salvation ...Happy Trails Have a Great day

Thank you so much for your response. I will definitely be living my life for God from now on. Finding the perfect church just seemed to be the thing I needed.

A home church that makes you feel comfortable and loved is so important to one's Christian walk...Unfortunately, hubby pretty much was born into the one we attend (Baptist) and does not want to leave...there are some great people in it, but I truly really don't feel 'home'...

Have you ever thought of going to separate churches? I know it may seem complicated, but maybe if he went to his, and you went to one that you enjoyed, it would be better for the both of you. Or you could alternate and go to his one week, and yours the next week. Just a thought.

Thanks for the best response nod, but no, he wouldn't do that...i just go (its not a bad church, but i worked for the minister - was the church secretary for 4 years and don't have a whole of respect for the minister)...oh well, 'sigh'

keep me posted on your new church

smiles!!

That's really nice for you, if it feels like home for you then that's wonderful. I find a lot of churchs' intimidating, especially some of the big ones. If you are comfortable with it then 'Go for it'


myLot reputation of 95/100. AdTe23 (1700)   ranked 1 out of 13 in go to church  3 years ago

Thanks so much for your comment. That is the very same reason I don't like big churches, because they feel intimidating. All those people just make me uncomfortable. That's why I prefer a small church with just a few people.

Hello Ad Te
I am Lailamaria from Sweden. I am new here a MyLot, really enjoying talking with people.
I saw your interests, among them religion, find love, spirituality.Going to church. You have found happiness at church. You are lucky. Stay happy. Many people don't find it there, anymore. When you do find your spiritual home you want to tell the world about it. If there is love it is a true church.
I have found great love too at church, in a special church, the big Dome in Lund,in southern Sweden. I just sat on the bench there at the back, AFTER having stepped out of the whole church system!!!!. And joined the Bahai Faith! Read on please. I had first found my Faith in God through the Founder of the Bahai Faith: Bahá'u'lláh (1817 - 1892)which means the "Glory of God".I was an atheist, became a believer in God through Him, went to church and met Jesus in His majesty and love, in my heart. He, Jesus, can also meet you outside the religious organisations, I have found. Can He not?........ That big old church in Lund vibrated with a thousand year old prayers and hymns that had been performed in it.I felt it. For the first time I read the psalms and understood them, what they were about. I got many a tear in my eyes and sat there alone, a long time, thankful in wonderment, fashinated. I was home. I know what it means. Everybody has to go home. All mankind . I was overhelmed by this miraculous event, unheard of, and by sweet feelings from this divine encounter.So.... I was helped by my Bahai Faith to become a believer in Christ. This is unheard of I know, the workings of God we don 't know. You are the first one here to know about this, my experence.
I just wanted to tell you about my church going, my coming home to Jesus Christ. A quite extraordnary story. That Christmas I celebrated the birth of Christ in truth.And now I defend Christ whenever I meet people who are antagonistic towards Him. We Bahais do that regularly. This is I believe, the beginning of the real reconciling of religions,and divine pedagogics. Important today when religions aren't revered because they are hostile towards each other.People step away from God because of that, even ridiculing our Creator, blaming Him for all wrongs in the world all the while they don't believe.How can that be at all.
Stay happy Bye and greetings from Lailamaria

That is a very wonderful change - from atheist to a believer of God and the Lord. I hope that you study the Holy Bible further to understand the way of salvation. As for now, it's good enough that you are no longer an atheist.

I just hope that you have found the true church. The true church started in Jerusalem on Pentecost day as shown in Acts Chapter 2. I am a member of that Church and we have our worship services every Sunday consisting of singing, praying, message (reading the Holy Bible), giving, and taking the Lord's Supper as commanded by the Lord. Each of us break the bread and drink the fruit of the vine.
