I have been attending another church for the last 3 months and the pastor at my church is like "We miss you", "We miss you". When I'm there I wonder why. Yeah, I know, I am there to serve the Lord and do His will and to fellowship with others who share my belief. However, I believe that I have a higher calling to serve than the four walls of my church will allow. The new church has a ministry for everything and everyone is encouraged to try and find their place to serve. You're not appointed to a place...you are called. The minister welcomes participation and does not discourage new ideas for spreading the Word.
I want to join but my husband's family has been a part of this church since the 1800's. Tradition, tradition, tradition...what an evil thing it is. I long for something more...something that stirs my soul and makes me want to go out and share...I long...

I know exactly what you mean. I recently terminated my membership at my life long church (30 years I was there). I now go to it's sister church and plan on having the baby baptized there. But I refuse to join. I want the baby to get a taste of the traditions I was raised on--they did help to shape and mold me. But at the same time, I've had enough of it all. My God is everywhere and in all things. I don't need four walls and organizations and so forth to give me that. Church has become so much politics and less of the things I long for and desire. But I am grateful for the roots it planted before it became all too political.
