another church tryout

this morning, michael and i tried oak hills church. it was nice, it was huge. we both left feeling a little, i don't know, normal.

we felt like we'd been to church, but not really to church.

i'm not trying to say anything against the church, because it was really nice, but i think for michael and i, we need to feel a little more in the service. i know that for a 5,000 member church, there are just certain ways things need to be done. for someone coming from a church like we have, it can seem a little too rehearsed.

oak hills and churches like it, are doing a fabulous job ministering to people. how can you not, with a population of 5,000? i am proud to know that churches like these have core values based and found in the living Word of God.

in the coming weeks, michael and i will try a few smaller churches and see if we feel led to make one of them our church home. the one thing i do know is that God is in control and will provide a church and a sense of comfort when we find the right one.

There are so many wonderful things about big churches, but feeling connected is hard. They have great productions, childrens ministries, and social events-- but no one knows if you are there or not. That was my experience.
