My New Church
Several years ago, I decided to start going to church. I live in such a small town there were only 3 churches to choose from, Baptist, Methodist, and Assymbly of God. I decided to go to each one and see if any of them were my style.
The Baptist church was too depressing. The preacher might have been having a bad day, but all I remember from the sermon is we are all doomed to go straight to Hell. Unless we go to the Baptist church, follow every rule they ever come up with, and fill that tip jar they pass around in the middle of the service.
The Assymbly of God was the polar opposite. I call them a Woo Woo church, because during the service there was a lot of hands waving in the air and vocal enthusiasm. They were very friendly. In a sort of welcome to our cult sort of way. A little too inviting, if you know what I mean.
Like Goldilocks, I found the Methodist Church just right. The preacher was friendly but not pushy. The congregation had an average age of about 65, and there were only about two men in the place, not counting the preacher. I started going there, and even taught Sunday School for a short time. Eventually my work schedule caused me to quit going. I could go occasionally now, but I hardly ever do.
Anyway, I found a new church I would go to, it if wasn't immaginary. This person just has way too much time on her hands.
OOPS!! The link to the church works now.
