Yes, I went to Mass today. I went to a bible study in the morning which I enjoy very much & really helps me to live the life GOD wants me to. As for Sunday Services I feel a part of something bigger than me - that no matter what is going on during the week I have SUNDAY to silently bear my soul and place everything in GODs hands. I am at peace there. I feel sheltered and closest to GOD there. Sunday Service is like saying "Okay God I had a rought week- give me the strength to go on"....or "Thank you God for a wonderful week" ....I find that if I miss going to bible study or Mass twice oin a row ...I feel empty...I love GOD and this is just one way I can praise him. GOD IS very powerful ...seek him and you will see the wonders he can do....if you are having a tough time in life now...look in the bible.... 1Corinthian 10:12-13.........states GOD will never give you more than you can handle....... really pray and ask for his help he is GOOD and IS HERE for you.... Go to Sunday Service (if you don't)...introduce yourself and extend your family. ..(If you do attend good for you- invite someone!) oh, I like the Mass just as is I would not change anything but I would like more church involvement in other areas.GOD BLESS YOU!

Yes, I went to church today, and ours is a little different than others. It's a small church. The congregation can interact with the pastor, stop him, as questions, give OUR opinions, etc.
For me, it's a great way of getting back on track, reminding myself of the strength there is in my belief as a Christian. As a human being, we get all caught up in day to day stuff, and kind of put our spiritual growth on the back burner. Fellowship once a week is a time of refreshment and reminding to me. Kind of like when you haven't had a meal in a couple of days, then sitting down to a good square meal. You've been surviving alright without, but then you're reminded of how good it feels to get fed!

It is a loose-knit network of Jesus followers who gather together to encourage each other in their spiritual life and who go out, moved by the Holy Spirit, sharing and demonstrating the Gospel.

I consider myself a Christian, but have a disagreement with organized religion, and have not gone to church in years. The only thing I miss about it is the fellowship I could gain with the (admittedly few) folks who shared my idea of faith.

Yes, I went to church today. The biggest benefit is gathering in communion with other believers in praising our God together, thanking Him for all the blessings He brings us, and petitioning Him together for a His continued blessing and help in a variety of issues, from the international scene to our own personal lives.

Church:
1. Teaches me more about God
2. Gives me a chance to worship, praise, and thank Him
3. Allows me to meet other Christians
4. Reminds me to tithe and give 10% back to God
5. Fills me up and gives me the strength to grow in my faith and help others in theirs
