But, taking life slowly, we're church shopping around Baltimore, hopefully to land where God needs us. To help others with their own church shopping, here's a self-assessment of what we looked for in a parish. This is the first question we had to ask ourselves. Being the creative analytic sorts of people, Joel and I came up with a list of what we were looking for. Want enough people in the choir so may be able to take off some Sundays, but not so many people as to just be a number in the 3rd row.
Little kids are excited to be there.
All generations are represented. Also, teens should be encouraged and involved in the parish. Small group ministries exist where Joel and I could connect with others on a personal level. I guess we're Anglo-Catholic at heart. We could get to church in less than an hour on a weeknight for an evening program.
