Steve and I are in the market for a new church, I know we have lived here for two and a half years and are just now getting around to this. Please don't point it out I am aware that we are heathens. Anyway, we tried one this weekend that we both liked okay. This is how every introduction went:
Church member: Hi I'm So and So.
Steve And I: Hi Steve and my wife Corin.
Church member: Do you know someone who goes here?
Steve and I: No
Church member: So you just showed up?
Steve and I: Yep.
Church member: Huh. Where did you find out about our church?
Steve says that was the logical line of questioning but I felt like it was kind of weird.
We are going to try another church this weekend. I was just thinking about how picky I am in this process. I want so many things from my church going experience. I want an interesting pastor and kids programs and a great sense of community and lots of young people. (Steve and I tried a church once in WA and I swear the median age was like 70. They were all very nice but we felt a little awkward.) It got me wondering, what is important to you in your church? Am I being to picky?
Thanks for reading and commenting.

i think a good children's program is important too! don't jump in too soon, and i you have an odd feeling, it's probably there for a reason...listen to your gut and God.
glad you're looking...don't know if you want to drive that far but you're always welcome at LCC. our kids' programs are growing, growing & we have a cool nursery program for even levi's age. just a thought. like andrea said...pray about it..God will lead you where he wants you to be.
