I (29f) have gone back and forth about "going to church" for several years. I do like the fellowship, and in general the congregation I belong to is open-minded, kind, and filled with the Spirit. Definitely not fundamentalist or evangelical. A very good church family to be a part of. Due to COVID, we have only just started meeting in person after about a year; but I haven't been able to attend yet. With church cancelled, I've been working on Sundays. I never thought a time would come when I just DIDN'T go to church because I was *GASP* working on the sabbath - but here we are.

I just don't know about organized church anymore. It's important to be together with the body, but it feels far more natural to me to just live my life with the knowledge that the Spirit of God is in me at all times, and that Jesus is walking the whole way beside me and I can talk with Him about anything at any time. Plus, I feel like God would want me working as hard as I can to be free from my considerable debts, so I can actually enjoy the sabbath to the fullest again.

Its complicated, but I do miss church and hope to go back someday. But right now, I have work to do. At least I'm not doing it alone. :)
