What Church Do You Attend?

[TXPalerider]

In the past, I have communicated with folks for a long time on here, to later find out they lived right around the corner from me. I thought it might be nice to know if some of us attended the same church on Sunday's. If you're not comfortable divulging this info, that's fine. I just thought it would be neat to see if we've been sitting by some fellow 2Coolers all along.

I'll go first.......

St Matthew's Catholic Church - NW Houston

[luv2fish]

Tom and I attend services at a little old timey Gosspel Church called Imperial Valley out on the northside. We also have a ministry which is called "Amazing Grace Fellowship By The Sea" on a boat at Galveston. Its like a floating church that we all kinds of fellowshipping, music playing, praying, and helping others . Take a look at
www.coastalcrusade.us (http://www.coastalcrusade.us/) We held a crusade for the Glory of God last July in MAtagorda. We have started a new webpage but we got detoured right now. It is in the works. We just love the Lord so much and think that we can praise HIM and worhip HIM anywhere. I am glad that you asked. I always am wondering different things. Bless you, Laura

Lets just say I am a piece of work still being worked on and probably never finished when it comes to denomination and churches. LOL I was born and raised Catholic, married a Baptist. Been to all sorts of churches as we moved around and I have some funny stories about that. One in particular was an all black church I attended when I was working in Washington DC on a contract. I walked in not knowing it but dang sure was going to stay since I was there. Everyone in there was very accepting of me and I never shook that many hands at one time before and after the service. Now in our present location, we both like the 11:05 am service at the First Presbyterian Church on Main street by the medical center. They have an awesome contemporary band and great "young" pastor. I have the "small" Lakewood church closer to me but we never tried it nor do I intend to try it. Something just keeps me away from the really large places. Anyways, I haven't settled down into this one but each time we go we feel better and better about it. The Catholic churches just do not move me like these other denominational services I have since been to after meeting my wife some 10+ years ago. I even enjoyed the Baptist services with good music and a great sermon that I have attended. Is it OK to just go around to all of them experiencing it all? LOL :)

[Mrs Backlasher]

Backlasher pastored a small country-type Baptist church just outside of Pearland for 22 years. When I took early retirement from SBC, he resigned his church to spend some time with me. He continues in Police Chaplain ministries part time.

We now attend Fellowship of Pearland (FOP). It's structured on the principles in the book The Purpose-Driven Church by Rick Warren. We currently meet in an office building on CR-90 at the corner of FM-518 (behind Domino's Pizza). That will change in a couple of months. The pastor says "If you can find us, you can meet with us!"

The pastor is young, and the church consists mostly of young families. We have one worship service per week, on Sunday mornings at 10 AM. Small groups meet during the week. The rest of our time we are supposed to be ministering and witnessing the love of God to folks outside the church. The premise for our outreach is not so much "come and hear" as it is "go and tell."

It has been said somewhere, "You are the only Bible that some folks will ever read."

I have done a bible study on his book, really great and very fulfilling.

BTW my family has had several members called to do service unto the Lord, and my experience you never really leave the ministry. My heartfelt thank you to you and your husband for tending to his flock.

[Money Man]

I go to Sagemont church in Houston, been there my whole life (all 23 years plus 9 months before I was born):D

[luv2fish]

I came to that gospel concert there about a month ago with Gold City, The Mc KAmeys and the Talley Trio. Did you attend. IT WAS GREAT. I use to go there myself in the early 90's. Do you know Jim And Kaye Hastings. They are good friends of our family. I haven't talked to them in a while. What a beautiful church. The Morgans are great people.

[Money Man]

I was not at that concert, but I do know the Hastings. Jim has helped my parents out with some situations that they have had. He is a real blessing to have around. I love it there and would not ever consider moving simply because of the fact that I don't think that I could ever find a church like it anywhere in the world!

Here I go hijacking my own thread????

[allicat]

when i am in ALVIN, i belong to First United Methodist of Alvin

when i am in IOWA.......jerry and i go to Federated Fellowship, a non-denonmenation church. (sp??) their motto..."its not where you've been, its where you are going we care about". we love it there, and i know it is going to be hard on jerry to leave that church when he moves down here in june. the first time we went they were meeting on a hillside overlooking red rock lake on one side, and the des moines river on the other side. they babtise in the des moines river, witch is 2cool.

and when i am up at lake fork, i attend my mom and dad's church. Lake Fork Babtist. that is one fast growing church. it is on the lake and has a sign in front that says...."come worship with us, and catch more fish!" LOL
they are very casual, which i like. they want people to get out of their boats and come in and worship, then go back out fishing.

i also really like to watch Joel Osteen. sometimes i think he is talking right to me! LOL dont think ill go there though, just to far and too big.

well, soon i will be able to attend one church, after jerry is living down here. i hope he can get used to our Methodist church. i just love our simi-new pastor Jim.

trudy

[allicat]

oh i forgot to mention that i used to fish with a pastor named RJ at the corp of eng in galveston. jerry and i drove to dayton to surprise him one sunday. he is the pastor of MT Olive Missionary Babtist Church. WOW, he is a wonderful pastor! i hope to go back soon.

My wife and I were married in April '97 at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Corpus Christi. We are now parishoners there and our 3 1/2 year old son is in the K3 program there. It is an awsome Christ Community and we are proud to be a part of it. I haven't seen a post from a fellow parishoner but this was a good idea for a thread TXP. Thanks!

Small world. I think the majority of the buildings in use now were built around '55. However, the original school opend in the 1870's.

Also, they didn't start accepting boys above the elementary level until after I left. Jr and Sr High was all girls until '75-'76 timeframe.

Boy that was a long time ago!!

You're right... it is a small world. My sister went to IWA when it was still all girls. Also, thanks for the info on the school. I had no idea that it's been around for that long.

Did she go to elementary there? If so, what time frame?

[El Cazador]

She (as well as my siblings & I) went to Christ the King for grade school. She didn't start going to IWA until the 8th grade which would have been approx '69 or '70.
