Want to check out a UU church but a bit apprehensive
I just stumbled in here but have been meaning to ask about this.I grew up going to Christian churches and consider myself a Christian, but more of an open-minded one. I haven't been to a church in quite a while, since early pregnancy I think. There are a couple churches I have attended a while back, one of them was the bigger, modern type with a band and all that (which I am musically inclined so I really like that). the other one I went to once was Disciples of Christ and they seem very genuine and open-minded. Much smaller church.
Since DS is 2.5yo now, sometime in the near future I would like to take him somewhere regularly, just so he can learn about spiritual things and form his own opinion when he gets older.
There is a UU church that is only about 15 min. from my house, I checked out their website a while back, but it's hard to tell what it's like and I don't know anyone else that attends. I'm very shy around people I don't know so it's very hard for me to go to new things by myself.
How does a typical UU church work when you have a toddler with for the service? I dont' want him to get bored and us have to leave. I know I would not feel comfortable putting him in a 'sunday school' type class away from me and he wouldn't either, unless I had been going there a while and knew the people.
I am thinking of possibly attending regularly, the smaller DOC church AND the UU church (if I and DS like it). Nothing strict though, I mean go regularly but not every single Sunday.
I would like him to learn about different world religions, do they teach about those starting from a young age?
Sorry if these were already answered earlier, if so please let me know where to read.
thanks!
