As I was –finally–attempting to write an update on my Spiritual Journey, I found this draft which I thought I had posted a year ago.
I attended a Christian church last Sunday. The first one I went to was a community church. As I mentioned before, I liked the community church. I liked the music, the casual atmosphere, friendliness and the music. The sermon was ok. I like the emails they send me. But I wanted to check out more churches in the area.
I was attracted to the Christian church because I liked online sermons. And I felt the sermon this morning was very reverent and helpful. I also like the friendliness of the congregation and it had a casual feel. But the funny thing is, although I love music and crave to worship with music, the music in this church might be the reason why I’m not sure if I will go back. It seemed more of a show, and not nearly as uplifting as at the community church I visited.
I plan to visit a Presbyterian church next Sunday, the contemporary worship, which is before the traditional worship. The contemporary appeals to me more than the robed choir. Next on my list is possibly a church up in the city.
After visiting these four for worship sevices, I plan to check out their bible studies and outreach. I’ve read about each online, but I want to feel the atmosphere and see where I seem most at home. It occurred to me this morning that there might be a possibility that none of them gives me completely what I’m searching for. If that should happen, I’m wondering about the possibility of attending the parts of each that I am I tune with. I don’t know if this is frowned upon or not. It seems from what I’ve read that most people attend one church. Yet, if we are all followers of Christ, should it really matter?
As I said, that was a year ago. My next post will be in real time.
