Something that has been on my personal to-do list. I've been moving so much the past few years and after a problem that I should NOT have experienced with one of the parish staff at a catholic church in Wheaton, IL I unofficially left the catholic church in 2005.

Anyways, I've been telling myself I'm going to look into going back to church. Although I was catholic I am going to look into a non-denominational christian church community where people are closer to each other. I liked the catholic rituals but I felt alientaed in the wheaton church because I was so young and everybody else was older and had families and didn't talk to me. They didn't even have a singles group. I got involved and taught a sunday school class but still felt unwelcome. The problem referred to above is what really made me leave the church.

Regarding the churh I'll be visiting called "Common Ground", I have heard from multiple people that this church community has a good representation of a young adult community and offers smaller group orientated worship.

I'm excited to be going to an orientation session this Friday and Saturday. I hope to renew my worship and religious study and meet good people.
