How often do you go to church or Messianic Jewish synagogue?

I go to both the morning and evening service on Sunday, so "more than once a week" for me.

I do not go to church because I haven't found a church that I can be a part of yet. I am eager to go though, as soon as I can do so.

Did you discuss this with your priest? They are shining lights in this hateful world. I have found that you can't feel unbelonging when you talk to a priest. I hope you find the same thing.

I was afraid too. When you're ready, do it. Fear is just holding you back, do you want to be a slave to your emotions forever, or do you want to shine as the person you really are?

What are you doing in a parking lot

It's like getting a shot at the doctor. It might be uncomfortable and scary, but it's for your own good. Except in this case, once you get past the fear, all the uncertainty melts away and you feel like a great weight has been lifted off of you.

Go to church!!!

Or try to set up an appointment with a priest so you can have a private talk with him.

During school weeks, I try to attened on Saturday, and always attend on Sundays.

During vacations, I attend almost every day. Being right across the street helps greatly.

I usually go on Wednesdays to the Bible study at my church. I like it better than the Sunday service and am glad it's in the evening instead of a weekend morning! And I don't believe in a new Sabbath, so it works for me!

When I joined my church last fall I went Sundays, Wednesdays and every other Friday. I've been missing Fridays, which I really like, because I forget or make other plans. Either way none of these three things are what I'd ideally like and find useful. Kind of funny though, some of what I'd like in them I find here!

God only knows.

Black and Evangelical churches are great if you really want a charismatic, spiritual experience.
