Got a home group to go to for Turramarra Uniting Church(TUC). It’s in Hornsby which is nice, but I don’t know if I am going to keep going to the church or the home group. You see the problem for me is that I am not sure if I belong at TUC. I’ve been going on and off for about 9 months. Helped run a kids group gone to a few social events but never really hit it off. I have a few friends but no real closeness. I find it hard to talk to people too, the group dynamics don’t seem to work. The services are okay but I don’t really think they challenge me.

All this wouldn’t be a problem if I hadn’t gone to St Stephen’s Belrose last week. You see I’d been once before but that was for Tom preaching. I am pretty biased when it comes to Tom preaching and so therefore it didn’t supprise me I thought it was good. But when I went again I was suddenly confronted with how much better Belrose was. I am not just talking preaching though the preaching is top notch, I am talking about fellowship. When I have gone to Belrose I have had people to talk to. Macca’s has been great fun, and I at least think I fit in more socially. The only real problem with Belrose is the song slides.

But TUC has excellent song slides. And there are people I have formed relationships with. I don’t know if I am quite ready to leave those people yet.

So what to do. What to do. I think I have come up with a simple plan. I will attend each church at least once each month and see what I think. See whether God is leading me one way or the other. I might be going overseas for six months in July. When I come back I’ll make my final decision.

Does that sound fair?
Does anyone else have other suggestions as to how to do a church evaluation?
Do you think I should tell people at TUC that I am thinking of trying another church?
