Carol and I have been attending Calvary Community Church for the last couple of years. Well, she has been attending for about five years, and I have been going since we met. I feel so CONNECTED with this church, more than I ever have with any church. When we met, Carol was living in Bonney Lake, and the church was in Sumner, maybe five miles away. Now we are liveing in Seattle, and Sumner is a 45 minute drive on a good day.
So we are church shopping. Today is our second attempt at finding a new church that we like. It is fortunate that most churches nowadays have web sites, so you can eliminate the ones that don't fit you own personal set of preferences. There is so much variability in style and substance that it is difficult to find one that feels right. We tried a different church, here in Renton for a while but I didn't care for the pastor, and thought there was too much music and not enough teaching. Small things, but enough that I was not comfortable. The purpose of church is to worship God, and attest to your faith in Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Master. The surroundings are not as important as the act. But it sure is nice when everything comes together just right and you feel that moment of connection with The Lord and the Congregation.
