I very much enjoy going to church. I have a very good teaching pastor. Above that, I really appreciate Sunday school where we can ask questions and definitely increase our knowledge. Above that - I enjoy a weekly Monday meeting with men and women where we are 100% real with one another. Our struggles are known and we rely on one another to lift us up. 5 times a year I serve at a mens Encounter and get to whole heartedly serve around 1100 men. Men of all walks and all churches and non-churched and recovering addicts. It is truly more of a blessing to serve others and lead them towards Christ. Praying for other men and seeing them repent and be born again is better than anything this side of eternity. I love Jesus.

How come church coffee always is bad?

Has cream and sugar in it.

Because He brews!!!!

I consider myself a Christian. Yep, have faults and am a sinner.

I haven't went to a church in 30 years.

I quit going after realizing MOST people don't go to learn but to just go so OTHERS see them going!,.


But I digress.., nice pics.

You apparently just haven't found the right church yet. We have drip, espresso, as well as good teas and Italian sodas. All free of charge.

I go to church to receive holy Communion which is Jesus himself right there as his body and blood that he gave up for everyone of us.I could care less why other people are in that church with me or seeing me go there..Its good that they are there themselves but are not the reason I'm there.

Thank you for educating us that we are mostly hypocrites. Boy do I feel silly.

Sorry if that offended you.

I know MANY people that go every (almost)Sunday.
Just guessing but 9 outta 10 could not remember what the preacher said a few hours later!

Churches are a $$ pit!

Wanna learn the Gospel, read the Bible. Should not need another to interpit God's word to you as THEY seem fit.


But agian...,

I do understand there are certainly churches full of peaple that are there for appearances.
Often it has to do with the leadership. Or even false doctrine.
The Holy spirit is definitely the teacher, and there's not a church building that will ever save a person.
But beleave me there are churches that are full of peaple with good Shepards that are raising up disciples.
Dedicated to learning from other Christians . And to raise up more deciples.Threads like this one are in a sense a body of believers seeking to edify one another. And every member has its gifts. It's realy much like our trapperman community. We learn from each other. Of course not every one shares all the same interests. But you would hope for the strength of our community we would stand together in numbers. Because strength is in numbers.

Faith, Family, Loving The Lord and your fellowmen and service are keys to happiness in this life. I love going to church and we don't get coffee.

LDS?

The last church event of the day.

Is that the American verses the Russian teams?

Is that the American verses the Russian teams?
That's just a little smaller group than our whole congregation.
Ours is not a mega church.

No, that's the married versus the unmarried; mostly Russians and Ukrainians.
Our church only has about 80 members, not a mega-church. But soccer is a big part of our church.

Very athletic looking bunch.
Our church is very eclectic. More like the land of the misfits.

My communion is daily with the Lord trough Prayer and Bible reading.
Sunday School, worship service, and mid week bible study are ways I enjoy community with fellow believers.
