I like the more easy going 'style' lol, of the methodist church I attend. It is very like the Church of Scotland I was raised in. I am the youngest adult there however, so sometimes feel a little out of place, but I do enjoy the company.

That's spot on about the guilt feelings, Alex! I'm really pleased you've found a church that meets your spiritual needs, really!

So pleased that your service was so well attended Alex.

I go to a very spiritual, 'happy clappy' church. I often have shivers down my spine and quite often moved to tears too. Isn't it wonderful!!!

todays singing was just wonderful Kim. It was so uplifting and joyous! The final hymn was the great 'Guide me oh thou Great Jehovah', and because it is so popular, it was belted out good style!! I definitely had those shivers lol.

Im glad it all turned out well for you.

I use to go to Church and Sunday school every Sunday when i was younger. When i started high school i stopped going n not been back to church since! My mate goes to church all the time though n she never went when she was younger!

I'm glad you had such a good experiance Alex, and that the 3pm service was full to bursting point.

I was raised Chrch of Scotland going to Sunday School every week, dressing up in "Sunday" gear and wearing a bonnet at Easter. Gosh haven't thought about that in years.

As Mags said Sundays are no longer what they were, we as kids werent even allowed out the front gait to play on a Sunday.
