UU was definitely the place for me right now though I am wanting to attend an episcopalian service

UU was definitely the place for me right now.

Is that were you attended? Sophie has homeschool co-op stuff there once a month and honestly it's refreshingly inviting and peaceful there. The big ole rainbow sticker on the door, the statements of respecting all. So what was the actual service like? My friends go there but I don't want to feel pressured into going by asking them about it. Does that make sense?:lol:

makes total sense, I totally had to do it on my own - I didn't tell anyone until I was read to walk out the door (my husband nearly had a coronary when I said I was going to church), next week I will probably take the children. I was really comfortable, but I was really nervous - I mean all covered in tattoos and piercings i wasn't sure how they would react to me. But everyone was so nice (but not in that Stepford wives way) and the service was also nice. No altar call or pressure to stand up and introduce yourself.

neat branwyn...glad you enjoyed yourself.

Cool :)

:eek:

Wow! I am happy for you and, well, amazed. Honestly, I have tears in my eyes (which is not unusual for me today, but still....) :hug:

:)

Yah. That rocks.

I hear you about UU. And, I'm even thinking of going to the nearby Episcopal church this coming Sunday.

Oh my goodness Bran! You gave me such a belly laugh.....thank you! :lol: I'm glad to know you're still standing......

:hug:

Church can be such a scary place. It terrifies me...:eyes:

Oh, I guess I should have read past the first post....if it's a UU, then I feel safe for you. I thought you meant a Christian church...those scare me.

UU rocks.

But everyone was so nice (but not in that Stepford wives way) and the service was also nice. No altar call or pressure to stand up and introduce yourself.

And that's how church should be. I'm glad you felt as comfortable as possible.

Nobody gets struck by lightning at UU. :)

What the heck is going on lately? LOL. I'm glad you felt good about it.

wow! Glad you were comfortable! May i ask what drew you there?

Because of moving so much I have visited many different churches in the past 8 years. The UU church was awesome- the one here is just *so* tiny (like 8 people- all related) If you felt good there that's what matters! You'll know when it's right.

I actually made a promise to the "supreme being" that if I could just have one more baby, I would attend a church. Well, everyone knows about my miracle baby :) I had been putting off church for 4 years and I felt a little tug that said "you really should fulfill that promise now". For years I have said nothing was out there, and quite honestly I was tired of nonbelief. It makes my heart feel good to believe that there is something out there, even if I don't know what it is. I think I spent too many years overthinking things.
