Being a widow I do a lot of things alone and one of them is attending church. The church my husband and I had belong to for 14 years had problems so we were no long affiliated with it. I needed to find a comfortable, warm, accepting church. Friends had recommended a large Methodist church not far from the church we had attended. The service was good, the music was great BUT I found the members to be clickish and not welcoming to newcomers. Except for those I already knew no one spoke to me. It didn't take long to realize this wasn't for me. Friends at UCC Simi Valley encouraged me to attend a worship service. What a difference! I was greeted warmly, members and the pastor introduced themselves and engaged me in conversation after the service. After about a month I expressed an interest in singing in the choir as I had done at my previous church. I was disappointed to discover that practice was Sundays about noon after the service and unfortunately, I had to be at work by noon. Believe it or not she changed choir practice to Thursday evenings so that I could be part of the group. Who does that? we do. That was the beginning. I've since gotten to know wonderful, caring people and have gotten involved in other groups. And yes, I still sing in the choir. Come join us.
