Our family goes to church regularly. It's a small church community and I very much like the fact that it is like extended family and everybody is looking out for each other. Schools here don't teach religion unless you enroll your child in a religious private school. Where I come from, religion is taught in regular public school. I want my children to know about God. They attend Sunday school at our church, and children's church during part of our regular church service (they are too young to quietly sit through a full worship service). Even if my children end up not believing in God, they still will take away some valuable ethical and moral lessons. They also attend youth groups there, where they are able to participate in a lot of fun activities. Same for handbells and choir. So they also get a bit of a musical education. Something we otherwise wouldn't be able to afford.
But besides for the children, religion helps me greatly to deal with day to day issues and the results of this fast moving world. It's better than visiting a psychiatrist, lol. For at least an hour each Sunday I can 'escape' from the outside world and concentrate on my spiritual self. It's kind of like a mini-vacation as it allows me to 'recharge my batteries' and gather the strength to face the next week;)
Unfortunately, more and more people don't find time for religion in their schedule or simply don't believe in it anymore. There is a lot a church community has to offer, one only has to find the right one. Maybe if more people would find religion, the world may be a nicer and more peaceful place.(Unless of course you join one of those religious fanatics;)

I go to church regularly. Even when I am out of town, I look for a church to visit and still am able to worship God when I cant be in my own church. I also go to the women's fellowship meetings, Bible Studies, and I lead a cancer support group.

My family goes to church every Sunday to join the service. It's not just a habit. It's because we love to gather with other fellow Christian to praise GOD and listen to HIS words. Every Sunday morning brings us excitement to prepare ourselves and meet our friends there.

Every Sunday my sister and I go to an Episcopal church to say prayers and have communion. After that we go to an independent Christian church because we think the preacher there is a particularly good speaker. It's also the church we grew up in and are members. On Wednesday night I go to Bible study at the Christian church and on Friday I go to Bible study at the Episcopal church.

I go everytime the door is open unless I'm sick or one of my kids are sick. I actually wished my church was open more. I pray and study everyday at home but there something about being around other believers.

Many go to the temple of god to give thanks for the blessing he give, for the love and care he gave, and for one day of rest to be given for the lord our father the almighty god who gave his only son JESUS to save our world is the only way we suffer to give one day every week of our life to our lord.
In JESUS NAME
