Ok. We went today. Here were my observations of Church on the Hill in Salem.
1) The music was rockin and awesome.
2) The demographic was much younger than many Churches. I think the loud rockin music scares the old people away. For me right now with what I am going through at work, that is a good thing.
3) The message was meaningful but not real deep
4) The people were not mean but not overly touchy feely
5) I felt better going in than out but didnt get overwhelmed with God and have a life changing experience. More like small bites of the word, not big meals
6) The offering was low-key. They talked about not loving money. Not a word about tithing.
7) They seem to have a lot of ministries but not enough info on how to get involved with them.
Overall I think this Church is a good place for us now since I am struggling. It seems postmodernish yet not too out there.

The church rocked!!! I loved the church. I believe that church is a good place to go because you realize that you need to spend time with God not only on Sundays, but also on other days. I didn't go to church for awhile, and I realized something. I realized that when I didn't go, I was dead (not falling away or anything). I wasn't spending time with God. My life was empty. However, going to this church, has made me realize that I should spend time with Him. This church helped me want to spend time with Him.
I also believe that even if people don't worship God during the week, but worships Him on Sunday is better than not worshipping Him at all, but still being a Christian. Do you know what I mean?
I am really glad for you both. I was going to ask. So thanks for putting that up there.
