It's hard to say what you should do, of course, but I feel like it can't hurt to visit other churches and see how those services make you feel.Good Naija Girlhttp://goodnaijagirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411513974227018754.post-75963287412679685922009-07-28T19:14:34.944+01:002009-07-28T19:14:34.944+01:00that's why i love my multi-cultural churches, ...that's why i love my multi-cultural churches, can't beat that<:)Sweetnothin'http://www.blogger.com/profile/07201367008326060865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411513974227018754.post-29099635586155310972009-07-21T10:06:19.859+01:002009-07-21T10:06:19.859+01:00Great to read you're settling in nicely cos mo...Great to read you're settling in nicely cos moving can be such a hassle...<br><br>Uhmm...Nigerian churches..lol..Lord help us uhn?Best you could do is what DTA said "find a place where ur heart will be and ur worship won't be tainted with unhealthy comparisons, rather a place filled with people u can call family."<br><br>I do hope you find such a place...God bless ya!Blessed Childhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12037497641866928999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411513974227018754.post-11311264097839245512009-07-19T23:20:57.181+01:002009-07-19T23:20:57.181+01:00I Waz hereI Waz hereOlamildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15408417396722620857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411513974227018754.post-71420574494074852192009-07-19T19:01:37.033+01:002009-07-19T19:01:37.033+01:00As a scientist, I wear literally "whatever&qu...As a scientist, I wear literally "whatever" to work; and am always comfortable with my jeans.

Maybe if you attend it a few times, the 'pressure' will stop or reduce, but that may still not prevent the 'side talk' from people.<br><br><br>Another argument for 'dressing up' for church is this - if you 'dress up' for work, why can't you do the same for church?<br><br>Don't get me wrong though - I'm not advocating that you 'dress up' for church.webroundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05785044875485919642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411513974227018754.post-14538753598992327712009-07-18T12:00:10.949+01:002009-07-18T12:00:10.949+01:00@FFF- HOTR Lagos abi?...i know o...was actually re...@FFF- HOTR Lagos abi?...i know o...was actually referring to the London church and I prefer it to the Lagos onealotedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17293074684237435820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411513974227018754.post-17332573192834976552009-07-18T01:15:32.853+01:002009-07-18T01:15:32.853+01:00We Nigerians we tii dey do over sabi.
