The more people I get to know, the more loved I feel. I'm actively getting involved in different areas just so I can meet more people.

For me church going was as cold and impersonal as a visit to the Motor Vehicle Department. I went to Cathoic church school from 4th to 7th grade and I was an altar boy. The priest and nuns were the most unfriendly people I've ever encountered. I also went to several different Protestant churches for some years. They weren't quite as cold and repitilian as the Catholics but I saw and experienced nothing I could call social networking.

That's the whole problem - we think of church as a building. We go in and out of the building on sunday mornings, maybe once or twice a week. We greet people, we laugh, we smile, we sing, we listen - and then everyone goes home.
Church is the body of Christ. Church is the people. Church is all about relationships in the body of Christ. Buildings can be a great big fat distraction.
too often there is little love, little sharing of lives, little real fellowship within the church buildings.
How Christians need to learn to open up their homes to each other, get to really spend time with each other, really show the world that the love of Christ is amongst us and in us!!
god bless

Celebrating the Eucharist with the Priest and the congregation is very rewarding. We are here to love and serve the lord not to feel loved by the congregation, but there is a certain intimacy celebrating with the other people in the Church.

Yes, ofcourse. My church is a wonderful gathering. I cannot think if only I didn't been a part of it. My life was full of problems, confusions and temptations. But after going to this church, I had overcome all those. Jesus has given me strength. the chuch pastor and his family and all the brothers and sisters were praying much for me. Even we all have wonderful fellowships. We impatiently wait for the meetings every week.

yes of couse i owe what is me now in my religion without this maybe i could not live in this worlds that brings me so much depression but through my Religion and God as well help me to overcome and surpassed this challenging days in my life. I've learned a lot not only for myself but for others. In religion this is a way where you will have a good relationship with God because it teaches all about God but i dont believe in every religion of course the religion im telling about is the Church of God were i found true messenger of God and True people that fear the lord theres nothing perfect in this world but my religion. I know you can't believe because no words could define what feeling i have in living in my religion. All i can say is that im happy without it ...i will surely die.

no, going to church is nothing about gossip, glory about what you have on, and how much the church needs $$$$$ to pay off it's child molestation charges. I tell you this, stop going to church for a while and see if your so called ' friends ' still call you.
