I'm a PK       03/10/06 09:58 AM Edit Reply Quote torbetta Reged: 01/24/03 Posts: 1451 Loc: New York I always hate trying to explain what religion our family is. It's harder to explain that Catholic or the other religions that are easily recognized which I guess is why we have the word non-denominational. My dad is a pastor and we just started going to his church last Easter. My husband's brother is an associate pastor at the church hubby and I practically grew up in. I guess you can say we are non-denominational full gospel. My church's vision is to reach out to those in need. It is very similar to what Michelle wrote and I you can say I'm a born again Christian, saved by Grace by Christ's death on the cross for our sins and his resurrection. We have the whole drums going during worship and have upbeat songs as well as slower worship songs. My church is a lot smaller than the one my sister and in-laws go to. I miss worship at our old church but it's good to be able to listen to the radio or CD's of Third Day and Newsboys that have simalar songs. Zoe loves the drums and dances every chance she can get. I also wear jeans to church almost every Sunday and shorts in the summer!!! Oh and my dad has to sing Happy Birthday to everyone in the congregation on thier birthdays. Talk about embarrassing. I meant to add that I've enjoyed reading what everyone has written. A lot of times we hear about differnet beliefs but not fully understand so it's interesting to see.
