I wasn't a church-goer before my girlfriend and I ...

I wasn't a church-goer before my girlfriend and I started going to this church. This church is amazing, the songs seem like a live concert and the whole feel is so modern and up to the times. Everyone that goes here is friendly and nice and everyone practices what this church teaches which is acceptance and love and treating others like Jesus would have. They have a program on Friday nights called SHIFT which I used to go to for an extra day of sermons and worship but more recently the speaker Lisa who talks for a majority of the time has lost my interest as I feel the conversations and teachings apply more to her personal life and things SHE finds important not things that everyone wants to hear about. She comes off a bit preachy for me. (Update since last time, I just attended again this last week and Lisa's speech really hit home this time. Also the Asian Pulled Pork special was so delicious!! Her speech was very lovely and meaningful and in fact I was sad to have to leave early for work and tried to stay as long as I could but had to leave with about 5 minutes left so luckily I got most of it. Sometimes she amazes, it is just very hit or miss for me personally, but I'm glad I gave it another chance and I'll be back to try again this next Friday.) There is another male speaker that I would love to hear from more often as Lisa relates to women more so then men sometimes so hearing from a man's perspective would be a nice change of pace since he hasn't spoken much recently. Anyways, the first part of the night you really don't want to miss, before worship is a "family-style" BBQ which is always good food with one special that changes weekly and I've heard the chef is also the head chef at the Pepsi Stadium. Church on Sundays is ALWAYS a good time and the teachings of that week almost ALWAYS seem to hit home with the entire audience and see it even feels like Pastor Jim is talking directly to me about my life and my own situations. We absolutely LOVE this church and the people here!! This church just feels safe and comfortable, and I can honestly say to anyone else who loves this place, ME TOO!!
