So in my quest for a new church, I'm seeking a place that has mid week services along with Sunday worship.
Tonight Christi-anna and I tried one tonight that I found from a website. (I'll keep the name on the down low)
The description as per the website is as following:
Thursday evening worship, invites people into an informal, and more casual atmosphere. Energy builds as a large praise band leads the congregation in praise. Tambourines, maracas and other rhythm instruments are available throughout the congregation so that vibrant noise fills the sanctuary. Feelings are openly expressed with tears of joy or sorrow, hands raised in adoration and exuberant praise. This is the first service of the weekend and as such has the rough edges and raw authenticity of live TV. Without the time constraints of Sunday, this service can run 90 minutes of unhurried, luxurious worship.
So we were super excited, planning on just 90 minutes of nothing but praise and worship, just soaking in His presence. We wanted like powerhouse praise!
We were SOOO sooo very wrong. It was Catholic.
I'm gonna leave this here and shut up....
So far I've tried River of Hope in Clifton Park, this place tonight, and June 1st I'll be going to Ang's church, Victory Christian. Both River of Hope and Victory is Pentecostal, which is actually what I'm currently looking for.
This is the next one I plan on going to..... http://www.newhorizonsalbanyny.com/. Maybe this weekend?
Also going to try www.seedofabraham.com which is on Saturdays.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Grace Fellowship. Rex's preaching is PHENOMENAL, and the worship...well, you really won't find any better then Ken and our team. And after what I went to tonight it made me REALLY appreciate what I have at Grace. But right now, I want something smaller, I want more of a small family type of feel, and I want something more spirit-lead. I'm obviously asking God for direction, and where He wants me to go above all. I'm not just jumping in to anything. I'm definitely praying about it.
Anyway.....my church however did just update it's website, so I urge you to check it out, www.gracefellowship.com And if you are in the capital district, and you are looking for an AWESOME church...I do highly recommend visiting Grace.
I have the next 5 days off so I'm SUPER exciting. And I'm totally going hiking tomorrow.
YAY!!!!
