I visited Hope Lutheran Church in July, and it was very welcoming. I have been a member of an Episcopal church for 15 years, and the service at Hope Lutheran was pretty similar to the services at the Episcopal church I am a member of.

I haven't been to New Covenant UMC yet but will probably visit there when I get to TV mid October. I can't speak for them specifically, but I've been a United Methodist for 40 years at 5 or 6 different churches as we moved around the country. All have been very welcoming to Methodists and non-Methodists alike. New Covenant UMC intrigues me since currently my church is Covenant UMC. My biggest concern is its size. I'm not sure how I would like a church that seems to be as large as it is. I am also going to visit Hope Lutheran. This would be going back to my roots since I was raised Lutheran. They have a craft and a quilting group there which I really like and its size seems to be more what I am used to. Both can be reached by golf cart so that is nice. Though New Covenant would be a much longer drive from Sabal Chase where I will be living. Let me know what you think of New Covenant. I am looking for good music program since I really would like to be involved in the choir where ever I land.
