In our hunt for a good church here in our area, we are running across all different kinds of churches. Our first sunday was spent at a church we like to call "Depression Baptist." It was so discouraging that is made you want to run out of the place. They were facing many difficulties there with money and the pastor got up and talked about it for quite a while. Anyway... for our evening service we went to another churdch that was much better and was more like a church we might go to.
This past sunday we decided to go to a church that we had heard so much about from friends. It was one of those types of churches that you see on tv with their rock band and people waving their hands in the air. Well, Tom and I had never gone to anything like that before agreed that it would be quite an experience for us. I couldn't understand how so many people at one time in their building. Well, it was eye opening to say the least. Every part of the service was so shallow. The music was so repetitive and we wondered how many verses they wou ld sing to this song we'd never heard of. We got to the message and learned about how we could be "wombish." Yes, that's right...he said, "wombish." You may ask yourself what on earth does that mean? And i would ask the same question along with you. I guess it meant something about providing a safe and secure environment for others. (???) Not quite sure what the point of the message really was, but I sure do remember this word. We walked out of there shaking our heads and wondering how people could be so blind. But they just want their ears to be tickled wit the message they want to hear.
So, the search continues.... So far we've found one church we could go to. And that church looks more andmore like the one we might go to. Continue to pray with us that the Lord would make it clear where we should join in membership.

Amanda,
I'll definitely be praying for you. Mike and I understand completely. We struggled for a LONG time to find a good church. Then when we found one with all the music and preaching standards what we wanted, the people weren't friendly. So, we understand and we'll pray.
hi manda,
sorry you are having a rough time finding a church. God knows...keep looking. love you,
janelle
