Re: Applauding At Church
I was a devout Catholic until about four years ago when my daughter encouraged me to attend a new church she and her family were attending. Both my son and daughter were raised Catholic and attend church weekly. I was surprised that she was suggesting a community church.
My husband and I were attending a local Catholic church and we were less than enthused about the service. So, we went with my daughter to a this Community Church. There were smiles, laughter and lots of applause every time a minister spoke or the choir sang whether in a group or solo.
The first time we went, I thought it was a cult! I was so taken back by this friendliness, laughter and applause that it made me nervous. People were congreating after service and just hanging out enjoying coffee and donuts that is put out weekly for attendees.
The second time we went, I kept more of an open mind and realized that everyone worships differently and maybe the energy in this church is a good thing.
We attend Ginger Creek weekly and enjoy it alot.
