Janet, I think its great that you are going to try a new church. I hope you feel more comfortable. I usually don't feel comfortable in any church - bad experiences as a child. Once though, when I was visiting a friend in San Francisco, we attended a church service that was truly amazing and one that I will never forget. It was right downtown San Francisco. There was every sort of person you can imagine in that church, dressed every way imaginable, there were rich people, poor or homeless people, gays/lesbians, punk rockers with neon hair, and hookers (I am sure), and then regular joes like my friend and I. It was the most spiritual and welcoming warm and comforting, place I have ever been. If I lived there, I'd go every week. I think it is paramount that you are comfortable, find support, and spiritual enrichment in church.
