Find a different church!!!
If you like going to church then go! But don't go to a church where you feel un-welcomed.
It may not be them at all. It may be you. You shouldn't worry about clothes, and money when attending church. You are there to worship God.
That is why everyone is suppost to be there. We aren't suppost to judge one another.
But, the congregation should make you feel welcomed. Everyone no matter what they look like or how poor or rich they are are welcomed in the house of the lord!!!!!!!!
So if they aren't being godly toward you and making you feel welcomed then maybe you need to find you a new church and a different congregation one that doesn't judge your clothes, or money!!!!!
You need to go where you feel comfortable!!!!!

Sounds like you're in the wrong church. Sometimes, even if we find a church which we agree with doctrinally, there are things (or people) in it that just don't "mesh" well with us. My husband and I have been to many different churches within our own denomination, and there have definately been ones where we feel more "at home" than others. There have been ones where we felt completely out of place -- we felt that we didn't really have anything in common with the people there, so it was hard to socialize and share fellowship. See if there are any other churches in the area which you can attend; but don't compromise your religious beliefs.

Even if it is you, because u have a possible complex about this (which u must get over please, it's silly)- them being church going people should try and make you feel welcome and be concerned about you. Here is what you must do: FIND ANOTHER CHURCH where you can really feel the presence of God because if you felt this in your present church you would not in the least take notice of other church goers behaviour towards you. Go to one of these new age churches where you will feel the holy spirit working- leave the "big time pretender" be - they are at church for the wrong reason.

I don't know enough to know if the problem is the Church or if it is you who perceive it.
Regardless, I'm sorry.
I suggest you trying a new Church. I belong to a very small Church and I feel fellowship and the spirit.
Don't give up. Keep looking till you feel comfortable. In truth, Church was meant to be a collection of Christians meeting and leaning not the brick and mortar building it is today.
Feel free to E-mail me if you have questions. I want you to know you're not alone and that I care about you!
my very best

If you don't like it or the people change the church. Every where you go will be a perfect fit. If you really like this church get more involved. Or find a small church. Don't over analyze other peoples feelings.

I understand. That's part of the reason I don't attend church as an adult. When I went with mom when I was a kid it was fine. But as an adult I don't like to go to church by myself. In a nutshell, it's just like any other large gathering where others seem to judge each other. It's not christian-like, but it's human nature. I feel uncomfortable, like they're wondering why this woman doesn't have anyone else to go to church with. And like you, it may all be in my head!

Your feelings are not wrong.
This is the problem with the church you are going too. Remember Churches are just a gathering of people who believe the same thing. If this church is not working out try another.

I'm going to get a real bashing from the Christians here.... but I'm going to say it anyway - alot of people especially in small villages go to church for the social life, gossip and networking opportunities, not because they are generous Godly Christians who welcome everyone.
I would suggest you find a different church to go to with genuine people there - there's sure to be another one locally

Get to know people by talking to them, if you are new in the church the best thing is to just chat to people.
