Thank you all for this warm welcome. Indeed I'm from Quebec. I'm living in the suburbs of Montreal. If I want to go to church I have to drive 20 minutes to the nearest pentecostal church. In the small town where I live in there is only two christans churches for a population of 46 000 inhabitants. One church is Catholic and the other Mennonite. Usually in the province of Quebec people gets angry when you talk about God. They have suffered under the Catholic church. ☹️

Hello Magenta,
I think I attended that church for 8 weeks, but I didn’t like that the pastor spent too many Sundays talking about the importance of tithing. I have nothing against tithing but I think maybe one Sunday every two or three months on this subject would have been sufficient. Also, I didn’t like celebrating Advent. From my point of view, Advent gives too much importance to the Christmas celebration when we all know that Jesus wasn’t born on December 25. I find that Christmas has been perverted with consumption and gifts. Christmas can still be beautiful if we place Jesus at the center of the celebration, but where I live I don’t see the love and I don’t feel the love on Christmas time. I don’t feel it like I used to when I was a child. Maybe there were more believers in the province. Even if most of the people were not protestant, Christ was somewhere in the celebration. They were even helping the poor during Christmas time. Christmas was wonderful. Now Christmas has lost its meaning. Personally I prefer Easter.
