yes yes, amen to that. Almost 2/3 of the population is catholic.....whats with that?

I don't know ablikespaintball. My in-laws, husband and whole family is Catholic and I really doubt their salvation. Of course, only God knows their hearts, but my heart aches for them to know Jesus. I've tried to share with them my beliefs. They listen, but it's like they're brainwashed or something. Very frustrating.

AB - are you in Monroe? I see that you are from Stepney, which I believe is in Monroe. We had a huge ingathering yesterday for my church and they told us less than 1% of the churches in New England are Evangelical!! What a scary statistic!

Hope you're having a nice evening...

I used to be wicked involved with some minustries down in Fairfield County. I grew up in Trumbull and was part of a few there and one in Fairfield. It's been a few years since I've been down there but I don't remember being starved. There were plenty down there.

Where have you tried going?

Hi RWL,

I attend Black Rock Congregational Church in Fairfield. It's Evangelical and I love it. We are growing like you wouldn't believe. We have a lot of people attend from Trumbull. In fact, I just learned that every week, some people come all the way from Rhode Island to attend our church!

However, in general, it's a fact that the Northeast is not known for having strong Christian churches. I work in a company of about 30 people, and I believe I'm the only Christian. It seems like the more wealthy towns are the worst. Funny, isn't it? The more God blesses people, the less they recognize it!

I'm not judging because just a few short years ago, that was me. My point is that it's difficult to live in this area from a Christian perspective because there are not too many believers outside the church that I get to interact with. Which in a way is positive because I can let my light shine in a dark world. But it's also a challenge for me not to get pulled into the world. Am I making any sense at all???:o

Anyway, I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with God's blessings!

Black Rock is a great time. I was involved there a few years back. I was also in their worship band. I'm sure we know alot of the same people.

And you are making total sense. I agree with your statement. I think alot has to do with how large the Jewish community is in our area, also how un=pc it is now to talk about religion (well, Christianity at least) and we all know how pc CT tries to be about everything. Maybe our distance away from the bible belt also. WHo knows?!?

It only gets worse the farther into the state you get too. I'm having a hard time trying to find a decent church up in my area.

Ah well... you have a great turkey day too!

I went to black rock for about a month, it was just too big for us. It just didn't work out. You should come to stepney some day! The worship is held by the youth and we have a lot of fun.
