As of late, I have been wondering how does one find a church that they feel like they "belong" to? My roommate and I thought we had found a church, it was a 45 minute drive each way. The youth were really nice and we were invited to almost all Church activities, ie. Sunday church (morning and night), noon meal, and some Wednesday night churches. But, what about the youth gatherings? After 4 months of attending this church every week, we were not invited to one youth gathering outside of church hours. Mainly due to the drive and the change in seasons, we have stopped attending this church and have begun to look for a closer church to home. So far, we haven't any luck.
I keep praying that God will lead me to a church where I will feel welcome and enjoy the company of fellow believers, but so far I have not felt drawn to a specific church. Maybe one day in the future He will guide me to a church that He knows will be good for me. Right now I think He is showing me different qualities in a church that I do not care for...
I hope everyone had a blessed and wonderful Christmas!
Blessings in Christ,
Well it does not sound unreasonable that god might want to show you some of the downsides of some churches as well, why not? Perhaps this is a process where you will find out what you REALLY want in a church.
ReplyDeletePraying that you will find a 'home' church.
ReplyDeleteThat is a shame to hear.
