-------
my knowledge of church life is limited to "the simpsons" cartoons.
I have preached and been in the role of a deacon. I can't play instrument, but have (badly) lead singing at times. I've worked to feed the homeless, and the working poor in the church pantry, work in after school programs for our inner city out reach program. I've also been a camp counselor for inner city summer camp, also worked as a singles/collage age minister.
Both sisters and mother go to church.
Sunday school typically mirrors grade school
It is a safe place where people are supposed to help and be helped by those of the same faith.
