About two years ago I found the church I have been looking for many years. Because I was divorced people didn't seem to accept me for a long time. I just wasn't comfortable in many churches, but a couple years ago, I rented a house from a person who was going to the big church I past every day on my way to work. He invited me and I felt at home immediately. Everyone is absolutely awesome in making new people feel right at home.
I sing in the choir and sing special music. I guess I shocked everyone when I sang solo the first time because I am rather timid an mousey. They didn't expect this terribly quiet person to have such a big sultry voice. LOL
Before I started at my present church, I had not went to church for several years and was terribly back-sliden. Many Baptists look down on people who are divorced, no matter the reasons.
I am always friendly with visitors and try to make them feel welcome. I remember my own situation and how hard it was to fit in.
