Church Hunting

Hmm, that sounds so negative.
How about I call it church searching?
But then, it sounds so .... lost (?).

Ok, anywho...

I went to a church in La Jolla my mom recommended. It was small and reminded me of FPC (my home church):
  • the intimacy of the group
  • the awkward newcomers introduction time
  • the 'happy birthday' song on the first Sunday of the month. Everyone sounded drunk.
Everyone was very friendly.

Things I liked:
  • the group ranged from age 70 to little kids. Most everyone was in their 30s.
  • the pastor is Korean, but most of the congregation is Caucasian. There were a few Koreans. One Brazilian guy, one African guy, and generally a good little cultural mix.
  • family-ness.
  • communion service every first and third Sunday of the month.
  • singing hymns.
I think the church may have been a little too traditional for me, but maybe I'll get used to it. I don't know; I still want to go back to Flood. I really liked all the different ministries at Flood. Plus, I felt a little more connected. It's odd because I felt more comfortable at the small church yesterday because it felt more like home, but I felt more excited at the bigger church.

Maybe I'll go to both services next Sunday. A whole day of church.
We'll see...
