If anything send them a thank you note.
But If My church was throwing you (or another 16 year old that doesn't attend) a sweet 16 party I know that we wouldn't want you to feel obligated to come.
I know that churches like to bless family member's/ families to let them know that they are included. It doesn't have to do with pressuring them to go to church.
Coming to church is a personal thing, When you are ready and when you want too. If now if not the right time, wait till you want to go.

You should talk to your grandmother about your feelings and why you don't want to go there anymore. Sometimes kids just don't "click" with certain groups, then find another that they really enjoy.
The party was a very nice gesture made by the church's youth group. Even if you don't continue to attend that church and youth group, you definitely should write and mail a thank-you letter to the church/group for the sweet sixteen party.

Hmm...I think it's a little odd that they would throw you a big party when you don't go there anymore. My husband and I used to be the youth leaders at our old church, and we wouldn't have done that for the simple reason that we wouldn't want you to feel like you HAVE to come back. I would just send the youth group a big thank you card telling them how much you appreciated the party, and that's that. You have no obligation to go back if you don't wish to. However, if you liked it there you may want to try it out again, maybe go with your grandmother? They do sound like a fun group. Take care!

You dont have to go to church or the Youth Group but the church would probably like it if you wrote them thank you notes and popped in every once in a while

i go to church and I'm in the youth group and i think it's not bad. the other kids my age are fun to hang out with. plus some of the activities we do are really fun like every year we go to lake of the Ozarks and stay in cabins. plus i act right with church and read scriptures, and i have gotten many blessings from god. so i guess it's if you want to participate in things. sorry if it wasn't much of a help.

nicely, you return in the process as somewhat clever. in spite of the undeniable fact that, there is likewise some thing reported as "social intelligence". One would not would desire to be clever in the favored sense to be socially clever -- to be waiting to maintain a communication. in actuality, it helps while you're actually not too clever, as clever human beings think of lots and as a result doubt lots. i'm now not shy; I comprehend now that i'm only not very sociable, and that's the way i like it. i used to be somewhat shy, even possibly very. So there is desire. the concern is such self-understanding comes with time, with age. I easily have a distinctive wide-unfold from society at super now. To me you're actually not a loser for in no way having had a boyfriend at sixteen or in no way having had lots of friends; to the different.

Go for the right reasons. God looks at our intentions and man looks at our actions.

No I see no need for you to join just because they threw you a party. Just say thanks and let it go.

it's about how you feel. If you don't want to join, then you don't have to. You don't have to join to please everyone else. The right to make our own decisions is what makes us so independent.
