I finally went back to church yesterday!

[jeffnevins]

Not a big deal for many of us, or myself before my head injury.

But afterward, the amplifier volume among other things had me concerned about tooth nerve pain & headache. Last time I went I ws in a lot of pain & left when the sermon started. I had earplugs, but was a mess anyway from other injuries.

That was months ago. But last week I found a seating area upstairs away from the sanctuary w/a monitor & worshipped there.

And yesterday I went to the back row seat closest the door w/my earplugs, and made it through & didn't feel a pain increase after.

Thank God.

Now if only churches w/amplifiers would bring down the volume-

It doesn't make a worship or sermon less powerful, in my opinion.

I suggested they do so on the suggestion card.

Good to be back-

Wow, glad to hear (no pun) that you have started going back to Church.

My church has a glassed in area in the front of the church where they normally take crying kids, however, I have found it to cut down about 20 to 30 db's of the drum actions we have going on, from time to time. The younger folk tell me that the music is not to loud, that I'm too old.

Hallelujah~!

Praying~!

[nebula]

Yeah, I don't understand the obsession with loudness, either.

Can you talk with the pastor or some other leader about this to work out a solution?

Hello all. Although I am a Muslim but i apriciate a Christian to go to the Church. That is bcz we need to have a connection with God. To keep going to a Church or Mosque is a sign of didication. Going to the houses of God is to teach ourselves regulation. To be regular churchgoers (for Christians) or Mosqueqoers (for Muslims) keeps our spirit in promotional stages. Whether it is every Sunday in Christianity or five times a day in Islam, that's giving us a continuation of feeling of bieng with God.

We need this regulation more with today material world which enslave our hearts in cheasing money and pushing us away from God and from our inner-self.

So, I congratulate you for coming back to the Church!

Christians do not necessarily need to be in Church to pray. Most of us pray to God all during the day, but unlike Muslims we do not always kneel to communicate with God. He is ever present and He is always with us.

I can sympathize with you in some ways. Fluorescent lights gives me migraines if I stay under them too long they make my eyes water like a leaky faucet. The entire time we are worshipping I have a tissue to wipe my eyes, people think I am crying, half way through the talk my eyes start to dry out and when that happens I will always get a headache of some sorts. Doesn't stop me from going! I am so glad you are finding ways that you are able to go and fellowship with others!

shalom,

You are correct, as Christians we don't have to go to Church for worship, we don't have to pray and we don't have to read the Bible (it's not a chore).

As Christians we get to go to Church and worship, we get to pray, we get to read the Bible and the teachings of our lord an savior Jesus Christ, how wonderful it is.

Jeff, it is wonderful that you can get to Church and worship with other brothers and sisters, peace be with you.

Welcome~!

See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

Rejoice evermore.

Pray without ceasing.
