Hi people of mylot! The last time I have been into church was April 2008, before I left PI to fly here in USA. I am craving to go to church and spend time to talk to God of everything like what I always do back in PI. But, since I got here I have never been into a Catholic Church. Eventhough I never do that like what I did before, still, He is in my thoughts and never forget Him. I thank Him all the blessings HE gave to me and to my loved ones. I just carry the rosary that my mom's friend gave me. What about you? Do you usually go to the church? When was the last time you spent your time there?

I have not been to church in a few years. I personally am kind of ashamed b/c I have a two year old boy and I have never been married.

I feel so guilty. I haven't gone to mass for quite sometime. I know there's no excuse but I just don't get to do my Sunday obligations. I do pray to HIM directly everyday but I know I still have to attend mass. I never forget to thank Him for all the blessings we receive everyday no matter how small it is. I will try to make up for what I have done.

I see... You feel guilty? You know what, GUILT is from satan... He try to inject t to us just to keep us away from God... Even if we sinned, God is more than willing to forgive us and satan dont want us to realize that so he(satan) is injecting to our mind that God is mad on us because of our sin or He(jesus) will never forgives us... Our sins are paid 2000 years ago... Just believe on the one who paid.. He will forgive.. and you will see that your burdens will be released... Ackowledge him that he saved you... He's(jesus) just waiting for you! Be blessed and happy mylotting!

The last time I was in church? This morning, lol. We attend church regularly. You should give it a try. You might like it. I was raised catholic but my husband is presbyterian, and that's the church we attend now. It took us a while to find a church we were comfortable with. But now our church is like a second family. While we were looking for a church we went without for a long time. Yes, you can carry Him in your heart and pray by yourself, but the community experience, the sharing of the believe adds a lot of value for me. I hope you'll find your way into a church here eventually. People are very nice. You hopefully will feel very welcome.

Yeah, I do really like to go to church but I just want a Catholic Church. hehe..My husband is not into going to church and his always busy for work. If only i could drive i would go to church alone even for just half or an hour that will make me feel better.

I was in my sister's church 2 days ago - we went to witness the baptism of my sister and her family.
I don't usually attend church - if I want to talk to God, I can do it anywhere! Maybe I was rather p.o. by the people in my church years back, where people attended church more to show off their clothes, cars, spouse, whatever - there was no feeling of warmth or charity! So I stopped going, except that once in a while, I'd attend some smaller churches, where people seem to be closer and friendlier. However I can only take these in small doses, so I don't go regularly.

ok ok ok .. I got your point.... But you know what.. The real purpose why we have to go to church is to meet God.... to talk to him.. to praise him.. If you will focus your attention to cars, clothes, or became a fault finder.. you lost the real purpose of going there.. God sees the heart... Anyway, it is not between you and those people.. IT IS BETWEEN YOU AND GOD! Just focus on HIM when you go to church, not on those people.. its not aour business eniweiz! God will appreciate it! Peace and be blessed!

The last time I was in a church was to be part of a double wedding, my husband and I renewed our vows and my best friend got married, this was on the 12th of April 2008. I have yet to find a religion that I can say I accept as my own. Maybe one day until then I wont be going to church.

I think the last time I was in church was a few months ago. I still do bible study and prayer on my own I just don't attend church regularly. Its not that I don't want to go to church. I just am in search of a church I will fill comfortable in at the moment.

Good day.. I usually go to a church on weekdays to avoid traffic and crowds. I also just dropped by when I'm on my way to someplace and I happened to pass a church, I'll take a time off and pray, give thanks and ask for forgiveness. I usually pray for my family.

Well, the last time that I had been in the church was during my graduation and that was March 29,2008... When I moved here in another city I am not already attending mass.. Well, actually I attended mass in the mall but I think that is not counted since it is not a church .. I am not going to church because I am lazy going out our house and since I love to sleep so during Sundays I just stayed at home for the whole day.. It is just I am so very very very lazy ...

I need to start going back to church. I noticed that my life always goes right when I'm active in the church.

I always see to it that i go to church every other week. Not every week though since my husband wanted to spend time some other week going to places he likes. Or spend time watching his favorite sports. But i see to it that when i have the chance to go to church i attend the mass. I believe that even if you dont go to church every sunday as long as you keep God in your heart and mind. You do good deeds to other people and you pray everyday God will still listen to all your prayers as long as you were sincere. But ofcourse going to church would also be wonderful.

It's been years now. Yah, shame on me. You know kids attention span is so limited, i can't keep my son still during the mass. but, some pastors come by our house and have mass in our place. I always keep God in mind thou. I still do believe in him.

I enjoy going to church sometimes. There´s a church near my house and i pass frequently, and I stop in as much as I can. I think it´s important to have a good talk with God, thank for everything we have and in general keep a good relationship! Try it and you´ll see how good you feel and your day will be much better off.

Last Sunday. I always feel better when I go to church and I really learn a lot from our "down to earth" pastor, so I definitely try to make it a habit of being there every Sunday.

I feel really guilty for not going to church as much as I used to, I love God so much.
It's not a reason I'm going to explain to anyone on a forum, and only one person truely understands why I dont go, but i assure you i have a good reason that i dont go to church, but i wish that i could.
i still pray every night though, and read my bible, and talk to god.
