My husband and I are going to be attending church tomorrow morning for the first time in a very long time. Both of us were raised Catholic, but lapsed in our faith, independently, and well before we began dating. We discovered that many of our personal beliefs and political leanings didn't align with our particular parish, so we lost touch, and have since considered ourselves non-practicing.
I've long been looking to return to a church community. I've recently felt more spiritual, especially after becoming pregnant, and anticipating a new addition to our family and life together. After some research and feedback from friends, I feel that the Episcopalian church might be an excellent fit for us.
That being said, I am rather nervous. We're pretty familiar with most of the motions of Catholic mass, but it's been a while, and we're both very out of practice. We'll be attending the family service, which includes a variety of music and readings.
Can any Episcopalians, or those familiar with the faith, walk me through what to expect tomorrow? What should I look for in order to decide if this might be a good decision for our family? Any thoughts, feedback, or advice?
Thanks!
hope you enjoy next weekend!!
