    That is way cool, Oomps!! Good for you! Glad it was a great experience.

    You probably feel like I did... I always wondered why friends of mine went to church and actually ENJOYED it! For many, it truly IS a beautiful and very enjoyable experience. Not endless hours of gloom and doom corporate board meetings such as the ones to which we were accustomed...

    Getting down with Jesus is definitely hipper in some of the modern churches out there.

    Everything is quite casual and relaxed and may prove to be a good place to make a social connection.

    Don't go to fast Oompa, pace yourself now .

    Good for you for trying something new. I also enjoyed most of the churches that i went to. The services, singing and chanting all lift a person up. The part that i got tired of was the slowly coming down, afterwards. I guess, some churches were like a drug, but in a good way.

    We went to a church like that for 3 years. Eventually outgrew it and moved on to another. Glad you enjoyed it.

    The first time going to church after exiting the dubs is a bit surreal. I remember I hit a Catholic church and stayed completely in the back, only because I felt so weird about being in the home of the harlot

    After awhile though I tried different places and have found my place at the UU church.

    Enjoy your path Oompa.
