St Pauls
I had a change in church this week, decided to go back to St Pauls this week. Its an anglican church, but unlike most anglican churches that stick strictly to the liturgy of the eucharist, St Pauls has a traditional anglican service in the morning, however its night service is "charasmatic" to say the least. On sunday night they had a SOAK service, which is a service of worship, but also a real chance to God to talk back


A chance to experience God in a non hyped up environment, no one telling me to raise my hands, turn around and touch my nose. Ok so I'm being exceedingly caustic about CIC, however I lost count of the amount of times I heard "come on church lift your hands" like I had no clue how to worship God, I think God wants us to worship him in spirit and in truth. For me truth was not raising my hands because someone else said so


The people are real, and its a place where I can be me, I have this ultimate sense of peace about that place, unlike albany CC where there were things that caught a squick in my spirit. I'm not still sure though if that was coz of it was another penticostal church and penticostal churches have some things in common, and I'm a bit jumpy. It could be argued that CIC was where God had me for a season, however I left there feeling like I had expereinced a counterfit God. I met with God on sunday night, really God.

I'm confused. The people at Albany CC seem like good people, and the preaching always has plenty of meat, however I havent got that feeling of perfect peace like that will be my home church.

Sent R at St Pauls an email, He is away in England at the moment, however will get a chance to chat with him when he gets back. A nice guy and no BS
