OMG. I had no idea it took you 3 hours to get to work.
How far do you drive to get to church?

Yes, let us know how it goes. We moved to where we live now 3 years ago, it took us 2 1/2 years to find a church home. I love my church and like Shimmie we are building a big, beautiful, new church so that is exciting as well. Sometimes you have to be really determined to find a church home. Last summer I sat down and made out a list of churches that I was determined our family would visit and I was determined that we would find a church home. Fortunately the first one on the list was the right one
. Funny thing is I found that church when we first moved here, printed out their info from their website, asked around about it, etc., but we never went for some reason. I guess this past fall was just the right time, we felt at home right away.ITA hairlove, commuting is very exhausting, I feel for you. Being single does not mean you have all of this extra free-time, I totally get that.

That's for sure. I've been moved almost 2 years and while I found what I thought was my church home for a year, I had to move on. I was really discourage for a while - during a 3 month period, I only went to church maybe 5 or 6 times trying out new ones here or there but just not "feeling it." But I am determined once again. I just NEED church. There is good teaching on the tv and internet but for me, I just NEED a church home. I can take a break but I can't give up.

Sidestepping the "lynch mob"
Try turning it inot a "jam session"..
We blast my radio with inspirational music and "jam" on our way down to church ... yes, please let us know how you like the drive. It took me a while to get used to the driving. Now, almost two years later, it's something I look forward to and I'm all hyped by the time I get there!
PLUS - the praise confuses the Enemy,. You know Satan hates that..

That's a great idea! My favorite is listening to Rebecca St. James on the way to church. I'll have to remember to put her in my car again.
I am having second thoughts now...
You know how when you go to a large church for the first time, you can just sort of go in, check it out, go home unnoticed? While the opposite is true for a smaller church. I had thought this was a larger church but I think I've been mistaken and so now I'm feeling a little so-so about it. I don't much like being noticed sometimes...

My church is a 10 minute drive from my house, which is very convenient since I also work there

I know of people who would drive hours to get to their place of worship but they might not be able to go every week.

on sunday 15-20 mins max
through the week a little longer because of traffic 30 max and I go 3-4 times per week on average
For me, If I can make it out to work everyday, then I can make it to church on church nights/days ...it's about the same amount of time to work depending on traffic and if it's summer or not ...
