I've always believed, I was christened and my daughter is to.
My daughter is 9 and she goes to a Christian club for an hour every week and she loves it.
From this club she went to a week long holiday bible club and loved that to. After this we both started going to the church every Sunday morning, it's friendly, my friend goes to and I know a few people there. It's a baptist church and I really get something from going.
What's really surprised me is other people's reactions. My mum pulled a face when she found out we're going and thinks it's going to 'damage ' my DD. She's the one that never let up until I had my daughter christened, so don't understand this reaction!
My brother was embarrassingly vocal and said some quite unpleasant things about people who go to church. Why though, he made a big deal of having an expensive christening for his kids, which was obviously for show!
I've also had other mild comments from people . So, how do I react when people give negative reactions to going to church.
Why do people have these reactions, it's just a church with kind, friendly people who are all there for the same reason I thought.
