Church shopping is NOT fun.
Not like shopping for a fun pair of shoes or a new purse.
I just couldn't find that feeling I was searching for.
I bet I've visited more than a dozen different churches
I know I've called at least three times that many
And for 5 years I have come up empty
So this week for some reason I felt compelled to try just one more
I chose a church that was recommended to me when we moved (5 years ago)
I swear it's the only church I didn't try (and I can't tell you why either)
So, this morning we went there
Within 5 minutes of praise and worship I knew
I knew I was HOME
The search has ended!

That's awesome!
You are so right; church shopping is NOT fun. But you do learn from the searching what you DON'T like, and when you finally find the ONE, you appreciate it's rightness so much more.
I'm so excited for you and your family!
That is so wonderful! Hallelujah!
I joined one way too early in the process about 2 years ago. Haven't been in at least a year now. I found a simple country church, probably the oldest around here that I want to visit because the doors are always unlocked, the place empty is a delight alone and I know I would happier with this kind of church. Our church music is new, alternative, band playing, sometimes feel like I'm not at church, kind of church. No one in a year has even called to ask why we don't go anymore. So, I'm thinking seriously of changing soon. I miss going to church. But I'm a little old fashioned and like the old songs and format.
This one is about 50 people, that's all, but it's in a historic church that was built in the 1800's. Love it.
