POLL: Church

*[Poll]

Re: POLL: Church

  • Not this week. Mass got cancelled due to the storm
  • I have not been to church in about 8 years.  We didn't even get married in a church.  I consider myself agnostic while H falls somewhere in the middle of athiest and agnostic.
  • Yep. Went last night. Service was the last in a series about Gideon. The baby was kicking like crazy so I started thinking he wants us to name him Gideon.

    Not sure if you're serious about that or not, but I like that name.

  • We don't go. I've never actually gone to mass.

    DH is atheist, and while I believe in God, I don't feel like I need to go to church to prove that. However, we've agreed that if our children express interest in going, we'll take them and let them decide for themselves.

  • Our rule was if both parents went, we (my siblings and I) had to go. If one parent went we could decided if we wanted to go, and if neither of them went then we didn't have to go.

    ETA: Sorry - posted this on the wrong church post. I didn't go to church today. I haven't gone much since being with DH.

    I actually did toy with it, but then I started thinking of nicknames like "Giddy" or "Giddyup" and nixed it off my list.

    I have a front runner that I have been calling baby for a few weeks now. DH isn't sold on it yet because he keeps coming up with a stupid nickname that he thinks everyone will use.

    Maybe I'll do a poll for opinions...

    Yeah, I could see nickname issues. Still a cool name though. Do a poll, I love baby names.

  • My problem is, i think about it every week, I just never follow through.

  • "We" go every week, but lately, it is just DH.  He is there now, actually.  I am usually still in the throws of MS when we need to leave.  It stinks cause I really like our church and there's a group of women I really want to be friends with, but I haven't been able to make it in 3-4 weeks.

    We also teach the 3-5th grade Sunday School class, so we have to go for that reason.  DH has been on his own for that, which makes me feel bad.

  • DH and I go to service every week. If we are out of town, we download it and listen/watch it at another time that week. Neither of us likes to miss service, we both really love where we go.

    However, when we were going to Catholic church, it was not the same, but that's because we didn't like it. Now that we left Catholicism and found a church we love (and have found amazing friends from there), we are much happier, and better people IMO.

    We also serve/volunteer at the service after ours in the kids program. 

  • We haven't been in a while.  With our move, we'd be part of a new parish.  I guess we feel kind of church-lost lately.

  • I used to go every Sunday with Dh til we had Kayleigh. We tried going a few times with her but I'm so distracted by entertaining her I can't pay attention and it defeats the purpose.

  • We don't attend a church now. We keep saying we should try to find one nearby, but haven't really made any effort in that direction. It is important to both of us to find a church when we have children, though.
