Sunday Service: March 2013
http://lucyssundayservice.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 24, 2013. Lucy's Church of Thought. I didn't go to church today. I was dressed and heading out the door to visit the Salvos at my local corps when it hit me - I don't know what the point of this is anymore. If my goal is "to find a group of people living the life Jesus did", then for all intents and purposes, I've done that - five times already. Every church I've visited is full of people who are there to declare the name of their Lord, and offer Him praise. Within months of joining the bes...

Sunday Service: C3 Melbourne North
http://lucyssundayservice.blogspot.com/2013/05/c3-melbourne-north.html
Monday, May 20, 2013. You'd think I'd be an old hat at this by now, but still the anxiety hits me, every week, just before I walk into the unknown. This week was no exception. Luckily I arrived early and had time to call my dad who calmed me down before I went in. Maybe I'd take a note from Eric's book and lead them by the hand, find them someone warm to sit with and stay by their side. Turns out it wasn't them. But the panic I felt was real. And to their credit, they were. But then the service started&#...

Sunday Service: February 2013
http://lucyssundayservice.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 24, 2013. St Johns Anglican Church. I wanted to go to a Greek Orthodox church this week. I'd caught a cab home on Thursday after dinner with a friend, and the cabbie was telling us about his heritage. Are you Greek Orthodox? I spat at him excitedly. Is it true you're allowed to drink at your church? I had two options; get there at 6:30am and hang around until something happened, or go to the Anglican church down the road. I made the right choice. In my old church, sure we read the bible ...

Sunday Service: Church of Thought Part II - Heaven special
http://lucyssundayservice.blogspot.com/2013/06/church-of-thought-part-ii-heaven-special.html
Sunday, June 2, 2013. Church of Thought Part II - Heaven special. Once again, I couldn't motivate myself to get out of bed, into the cold and head into an unfamiliar environment. Once again, this decision made me feel guilty. As it is, I only commit to going to church once a fortnight. I used to go 3-4 times a week. Also this "commitment"? So who is this 'they' I'm referring to? If so, why haven't I been feeling bad the last five years I haven't been in church? Was a non-negotiable. I'd lost a best f...

Sunday Service: Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall Brunswick Part II
http://lucyssundayservice.blogspot.com/2013/04/jehovahs-witness-kingdom-hall-brunswick_21.html
Sunday, April 21, 2013. Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall Brunswick Part II. These are probably the most “Christian” people I know. They take the bible as it is written. They don't pick and choose scriptures to live by; they wake and sleep daily by the entire word of God. And no, I'm not talking about Old Testament doctrine; sowing of different crops in a field, marrying your brother's widow. I'm talking about New Testament law. 1 - We must shun practices that displease God - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. This pass...

Sunday Service: June 2013
http://lucyssundayservice.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 22, 2013. My last church - City on a Hill. Chapter One - My first church. When I was nine, I sang in a children's choir. The conductor was a Christian lady, and we would all pray together at the end of rehearsal. We sang songs about God's love and grace and about our best friend Jesus. When I was ten, Mormons would come visit our house. I made friends with them because I thought they were nice and they taught me about Jesus and a man named Joseph Smith. I went back with Aimee that night...

http://lucyssundayservice.blogspot.com/2013/04/jehovahs-witness-kingdom-hall-brunswick.html
Monday, April 8, 2013. Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall Brunswick Part I. Let me start at the beginning. A number of weeks ago, I received a flyer in my letterbox, inviting me to a "special Bible talk" being hosted at my local Kindgom Hall entitled ' Does Death End It All? As the Jehovah's Witnesses were already on my list of Christian churches to attend, I eagerly booked it in. Jehovah's Witnesses 'A Cruel Cult'. And Slamming the door on Jehovah. So I was nervous. So the rest then. The hall was very plain...
