a lot of people here don't understand what churches are for and what they offer. i'm not religious per se but i'm a church musician. some churches want to see what you can do for them and pick your pocket while they're doing it. some churches want to see that your emotional, spiritual, and physical needs are met while you're there, and hopefully you can get a little solace from whatever is bothering you at the moment.

i use two things to judge: are they affirming, and do they offer coffee in the fellowship room. it better be a big fat yes to both.

do they offer coffee in the fellowship room

What kept me going to Sunday School as a kid was the donuts. Also my parents making me go.
