Off to Church

[Tubthumper]

Maybe a bit late, but how many Orgers are off to (or have been to) church this morning?

[shazzap]

No definitely not me.

I was passing St Peters and St Andrews 10 minutes ago and I saw an old friend going up the steps and just for a moment I thought how nice it would be to sing a few hymns.
I often think about popping in but its not easy.
I trust thinking about going to church fulfills the criteria of your question.

Just dispatched my other half in that direction then back to peaceful communion at the Org alter although the sunshine beckons from the outside world.

It is now afternoon and I can report that I was at church this morning. :)

Well done Canuck/
Did you see my post on V/P Joe Biden and his mitts?
Made a big thing of them at the Olympics!!
Even the Yanks love us.

Just back from church our service is at 2p.m. Sets one up for the week.

Not that many church buildings left to choose from now. Many have closed.

The mitts are great!!!!

I saw Joe Biden on a Washington TV broadcast last Wednesday. I couldn't get over the gash on his forehead. It turns out that it was ashes from his attendance at an Ash Wednesday Service.

Nice place to be. I only ever seem to go to church for weddings, funerals and Christmas Eve carols. Nothing against the church but sometimes feel that many of the "Holy Willies" who attend regularly every Sunday are some of the biggest crooks in the town. You don't need to attend church to be a good Christian.

Not I, not for many moons.

But had a lovely visit with some of my Canadian family this afternoon.

I try to go every Sunday and during Lent each Wednesday evening.

In reading these posts it appears that churches have lost flavor for many of the younger generations. Perhaps even more.

I went this morning as I do every sunday.

Sadly yes, my mum is a youth worker at her church in Thurso. They do have several kids-teens that go but mum said she feels the churches need to find a way to keep the kids coming.

I have attended church with my mum (im not really religious) but havent been for a while. I attend the christmas plays with my nephew in them aswell.

Oh not forgetting i actually go to church every monday and wednesday, but thats because our mother and toddler group is held there.

I think high percentage of churches have "updated" themselves to bring in the teens and kids. But some are lagging. Cant keep things in the past i say. :D

I think it really depends on whether or not you are religious Oldmarine. I'm not in the slightest and i won't get my child christened. We are going to do a naming ceremony instead as neither of us are religious in any way. We both feel it is patrionsing to say you'll raise your child to life in gods path and all that when you don't believe in it.

I often visit the church of Tesco. I stopped going to proper church when they stopped handing out sweeties.

[twiglet]

I went as usual.

[Joefitz]

churches in the USA are radically different from Caithness, to say the least, and I never can get comfortable in one........or is that my past sins talking??
Go to the Xmas eve carol service, and the blessing of the baskets at easter, is all.

Let them grow up and decide for themselves.

Went as usual. Often wonder how the hatch, match and despatch (or Christmas and Easter) brigade think churches survive without their regulars. They're always wanted in times of trouble and celebration and I think many would miss them if they weren't there.

I love the little church I go to - it's very friendly, sermons are always interesting, good chats and coffee after. Also a loving supportive community. There are many similar.
