It’s true! I really enjoy going to my church every Sunday. Perharps it may seem odd that I mention it, but to me it isn’t, because so much of my growing up years I detested church. It bored me to death. Why do I like it now?
I love the singing. Even though we do almost no praise & worship style singing, which I love, I totally enjoy singing hymns out of the venerable church hymnal. I can really get into it.

I love our Sunday School class. Our youth boys class can really get into, at times. Other times the discussion really lacks. But mostly its great. Our teacher Ivan does admirably well.

We get some really great sermons in our church fairly regularly. However, I am terribly absent-minded, and can so easily slip out into some other world. I catch myself and slap my patty, but before I know it I am off somewhere again. Terrible habit.

And then, of course, we stay and chat w/ folks for a long time after every service. This is one feature of mennonite life which I really really like. We do like each other and like to keep up with each other. Even then, it still feels like a barely know some people in church, cause our church is just too big. I wish we wouldn’t have made it so huge. Someday I hope to be in a cute little church, but for now I’m stuck in my Huge one. But I like it anyway. People grow and change there. People experience powerful relationships there. People meet God there.
