knight56 Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 I been thinking about it..but i dont how to go about!!
tiki Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Yes...go to your local church (or call), they usually have the hours of worship on the board out front. Then find your way around, or the church secretary can help you.
Moose Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Most Churches, will have Sunday school before regular services. I encourage you to just show up, and allow them to point you in the direction you need to go. They'll more than likely place you among others your age. Check out a few Churches before you decide on which one you want to call home. And also, there is always going to be one or two things you don't like about a Church no matter where you go, but don't let that stop you from feeding your soul. God be with you.
Author knight56 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 why will they put me in my own age group just curious?
tiki Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Because you need to be around people your age. What age group would you prefer to be with?

It's a good idea for those who've been through life a little longer than you to give you direction. So most of the time, you'll have a leader for the different age groups dealing with the obstacles that are usually present for said age group.

Author knight56 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 Thank you but i really need a person in real life ( not that you not) to show me the way to talk to me of what i missing in my life. I never dont drugs or kill anyone..but i have porn..i need to trash it out..
Moose Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 There is no sin greater than the next. They are all forgiven when you know Christ. It's good that the porn seems to bother you in this way. Hang in there.
Author knight56 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 Ok can i find this help right now if i wanted too??
Moose Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Knight, if you want to, you can call a local Church and ask for their Pastor or Priest. But really, God will hear you no matter where you're at. I pray constantly here at work.....God doesn't mind, believe me.
Stone Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 It took me years to find a church that I was comfortable "opening up in" decide what you are looking for and if the church targets those needs. I beong to a young adults group I love it It helpls me have a support system that is close to my age and it is also nice to have friends who can be supportive.
Author knight56 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 Sometimes i cry at night. I wish someone would understand me.
Anais Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Give google search with your zip code and the word church. Almost all churches have a web-site. You can find all time and information there. It is free and you sometimes get a free bible + free meal every Sunday. Try few churches until you are comfortable with one.
Author knight56 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 thanks. Do you think it ok to join other churches? Just to see which one is right for me.?
Anais Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Sure. It is very important to like the pastor and the community. Do you know what kind of church you like?
Author knight56 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 well i dont know which one is best for me. Which do you think it best?
quankanne Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 which church is best for you? honestly, that's something only you can answer. The good part is that many, many churches or faith communities have Bible studies or fellowship nights where you can meet and mingle with people looking for the same thing. Often, when you feel comfortable, when you feel "at home," with a group, you'll know it's where you are supposed to be! some good places to check are in the local paper's religion section, which often publicize fellowship gatherings, classes or Scripture study groups, or ask at a church office for a Sunday bulletin, which will list times and places for these get-togethers. when I first move to this town, I registered at the "mother church," the cathedral downtown. but because of the nature of my job, I got to visit many, many churches and meet priests and members of their parish. A couple of years ago, I switched to a smaller, predominantly Hispanic church operated on the city's northside by a group of Franciscans because it felt like home to both me AND to my husband, who is a lapsed Episcopalian. I figure if he feels good about St. Pete's and the people there, then it's got to be a good thing, you know? you'll know where your church home is as soon as you visit it ... in the meantime, happy seeking!
