It is a joke around here that we "home church". We can't seem to find the "right" church for us. I am sure we are being too picky but with 5 people having to be involved with the decision, it seems that no church fits each member of the family. We (as a family) are somewhat progressive (instead of traditional). We like comtemporary music (but I don't like it "every song"). I like to sing some of the old standards. Some of the new songs, in my opinion, just don't have the depth that Amazing Grace or What a Friend We Have in Jesus or others have. However, I don't want to be at a church that is so dry that they can't get past singng "number 95 in the blue hymnal" every Sunday. I like a small-medium sized church bec. I feel lost in a big church but those don't usually offer much for kids. And Gray complains about going to any church bec., frankly, he hasn't been to church on a regular basis. Until about 10 years ago, we went to church every time the doors were opened. We just sort of found reasons to not go... we moved to a new neihborhood, worked evening shift, traveled for work, .... Eventually, the kids stopped wanting to go at all. The joke of it all is that in the beginning we wouldn't open the door or let the kids go outside during church hours.
How does one find the right church when one lives in the country?
