1st Sunday January 3

So first Church was today.It was a community non denominational church that my mother attends. We put our toe in first instead of just diving in. Well we were running a few minutes late , Service was 11 we got there at 11:03 . First impression for me was , not your typical church .Looked more like a auditorium then the typical church I have been too in the past. No stain glass windows , no crosses, no pews . Just lights , drums , chairs , big screen TVs & microphones. No bibles or hymns in the chairs /pews. No typical old man suit preacher. Just a normal looking guy in a sweater & khakis. So we find my mom , sit down & listen to the band . Yes there's a band & singers on the stage singing. Then a funny video on the big screens about momentum . One thing I really enjoyed , but what did it have to do with church ? Didn't get that connection. Then we heard the preacher talk about New Years Resolutions. How good for our 1st church of the new year. He talked about finding a resolution that would affect you not this year but years down the road . Great were on the right path !!! Why do you have to stand to sing or pray ? Can god only hear you if your standing ? Does he hear you better then ? Would it be better if we yelled & went outside ? Good music , not the stuffy , falling asleep feel , not churchy enough , too much standing , were just some of the thoughts of my family. Is there a church you can raise your hand in the middle of service & ask a question ? We decided to rank the Churches so we would now what we all thought , the kids gave it a 2 & 3. Me a 5 , Greg a 6.On to next Sunday .
