Ever since I moved to New York, I’ve found myself unsuccessfully
searching for an east coast spiritual home. I’m not sure if it’s because I love my church
so much or that I am honestly not ready to add a 2-hour service plus commute to
my Sunday mornings. My schedule is already jam packed with work, training and
school but I feel this is something that I need to make time for. There is
something about having a place to release all of the negative energy placed in
my path during a 7-day period that is uplifting and rewarding.
Unfortunately, yesterday’s experience was nothing I plan on
repeating. The pastor was far from charismatic, the audience reminded me of an
Arsenio Hall studio with their incessant “woot, woot, woot,” and the 4-person
choir did not make me feel like getting out of my sit and shouting His name. No
sir, that was not my cup of tea.
I know once I find what I’m looking for, I will be that much
more excited about Sunday mornings. I will continue to enter each new service
with an open heart and mind. I pray that I find what it is I’m looking for soon
because after attending 6 different services and wanting to leave midway
through most of them, I need a place to call my east coast spiritual home. I'm open to suggestions by the way, so if anyone knows of a church in Harlem that skips the hoopla and delivers the word in a captivating way drop me a note in the comment section.
