Sooooo...one thing I've been avoiding since I moved to Chicago is finding a church. When you go to the same church practically your entire life, it's hard to imagine going anywhere else. And while I had some issues at my old church, it was really the only place I knew. There was also the BCM at my old school, which made me feel at home when I was at school. But now I have to find a new church--a new place to call home.
For those of you who don't know, it's not as easy as walking into the nearest church on the corner. And as I found out, it's not as easy as a simple Google search either. My roommate and I seem to have very similar beliefs, but she went to a Methodist church for most of her life. That's vastly different from the non-denominational evangelical church I grew up in. (But believe me, it's nice to have a roommate that takes her relationship with God seriously. And it's nice because we have someone to explore churches with too.)
So tomorrow morning we are going to church and see how it feels to us. We already know that they have a college student ministry, so that's encouraging. I know that the first one mat not be the fit, but I won't find a church by sleeping in on Sundays.
So, I will keep you updated, and please pray for my roommate and me. We need the guidance, and hopefully we'll find a place that's a good fit for both of us.
