Recently I wrote about taking the step to attend Church. I am trying to figure out if the quaint little country Church is for me. As I mentioned, the Pastor is very nice and the Parish as well but it's very "old fashioned". I have a friend who attends a more modern Church and I think I may attend to see what it's all about.
Last week they had communion again. I didn't participate as I didn't want to stress my Son out even more than he already was that day (a long story). Plus, I had never taken part in communion before and I didn't realize my Son could take part at age 3. One of the ladies told me I "didn't need to be a member to take communion". At that moment I ended up with another question whirling around in my head, along with "what are those envelopes for". How DO I become a member? I assumed I was a member just by attending and giving to the collection plate! Guess not. And my Son is finding Sunday School to be very stressful, which is the opposite of what I had hoped. Most weeks he is the only child since most of the congregation is elderly and being the only child means there's a lot of focus on YOU! So, that means I don't only need to find a Church right for me, I need to find a Church that's right for my Family.
My heart urged me to attend Church so I leave it up to my heart to decide which Church is right for me. Which Church speaks to me.....time will tell.
'til next time!
