    The music is a form of worship, this means that this is the time when you are the closest in communication with God thru the Holy Spirit.... The Holy Spirit does not come into us but comes out of us.... We all have it but some people do not accept it and just simply run from church and God all together.

    Another reason why worship is important is because worship breakes bondage and strongholds in our lives, its a way of fighting back against all that comes against us with Christ on our side....

    Its good you are looking to get back to church, normally people in today's world choose what ever the hell is best for their lives and what ever best fits their schedule.... Nobody wants to give up anything to know God better and have a better relationship with him....

    I actually found one of the songs we sang:

    The sun at high noon, the stars in dark space,
    The light of the moon on each upturned face,
    The high clouds, the rain clouds, the larksong on high:
    We gaze up in wonder above to the sky.

    The green grassy blade, the grasshopper's sound,
    The creatures of shade that live in the ground,
    The dark soil, the moist soil, where plants spring to birth:
    We look down at wonder below in the earth.

    The glad joys that heal the tears in our eyes,
    The longings we feel, the light of surprise,
    Our night dreams, our day dreams, our thoughts ranging wide:
    We live with a whole world of wonder inside.

    Usually the songs just hit on the wonder and awe of the universe, with some existential imagery mixed in. I love it. And you're not really singing or "worshiping" to any god or spirit, it's just kind of a unity of man through song.

    Seriously, check it out! I used to think Unitarian Universalism was a cult or something, now I just know that they're way more open-minded and inclusive than I'm used to.

    Go to an "unprogrammed" Quaker meeting. You'll have no singing, but you'll have no central sermon either!

    You could find a church for the non-hearing, but then you'd have to learn to sign instead of sing.

    Hillsong United sounds like an English soccer team.





    Buddhist in the house.

    A little music, singing AND sermon at the same time, CAN make things a little more interesting
