Most of us go to church when we are younger but as you get older you tend to stray away...When you moved/move on to college do you still or plan to still go to church. How important is church in your college life?
As i got older and more smarter i started to question the purpose so now i dont go twice a year like i did back in the day
my familys not religous at all..we never were....
my fam used to go every sunday, till i moved from VA to MD 'bout a year ago; and then we stopped goin.
and i went to the church here on HU's campus every sunday for about... a month, lol. haven't been regularly since.
went last sunday, though, cuz my boyfriend wasn't hungover, and he asked me if i wanted to go.
Sometimes i go to a evening service that is geared towards college students at a nearby church (shout out to Reid Temple AME!).
I'm in an organization that is involved with chapel services on campus tho, so it's sort of my duty to go. But even if it wasn't, i'd still try to be there. I was raised in the church, so life just wouldn't seem right without it.
I won't lie tho, sometimes i do have some lazy Sunday mornings and miss chapel. But when i do, i just turn to my little gospel radio channel and have my own church.
At home, I go to church every Sunday. At school, I stopped going to the services on campus. I went to the services on campus alot last year, but this year I've only been a couple times.
I go regularly when I'm back home...
When I'm at school its real sporadic. Honestly I'm usually knocked out on Sunday mornings. It took me a while but i finally found someplace in ATL i feel comfortable at. There are too many places down here that don't feed me spiritually. I just need to stop being lazy and make that 30 min trip out there.
I'mma be honest tho. Church isn't as important as it used to be but i think its just a phase and a result of laziness especially after i started gettin exposed to some questionable congregations.
The classroom also tends to open your mind up to some other things and question the (modern) Church. Even still there's no denying the fact that my life would feel somewhat empty if i didn't nurture myself spiritually and church is a place I can go to do that.
However, I am Christian and although i fall long (forget short... a brotha been falling off these days) I still believe in the teachings for the most part although i do look at everything with somewhat of an analytical eye and find my self questioning things alot but experience and life has shown me some things to the point where i can't deny there is a somewhere out there.
