I was just interested in what denomination of church everyone goes to? I go to a evangelical brethren church.

I used to go to a charismatic church, it was Assemblies of God.
then...a long story, I left..and now find that home fellowships are great.
We have them very friday night. I havent been so much in the cold weather, but still enjoy it very much. I contribute at times by playing keyboard...

o.k. Please be patient with me. Im new tonight.
I wanted to ask whether anyone here has used
vitamin B12 via injection on themselves?
Im using it at the moment. I dont have anaemia, but do get very very tired, plus muscle pain in my thighs.
I find it does help me. Ive started by injecting once a week. Its now been about three weeks..Ive been away. One thing Ive found. My blood pressure has gone up. Its high now. In aust. the reading is high...165/110. In the past it was always low,then as I got into my fifties and put on weight, it went up some.
Im wondering if the B12 therapy may have increased the blood pressure. Does anyone have any experience in this at all? any input gratefully accepted. judych

Is that the church that the Bishop of New Hampshire preached at a few weeks ago?

Judy - I'm afraid you're in quite a small corner of Mumsnet here, so you're not likely to find a lot of people with experience of this. What you need to do is go to the General Health section and start a new Conversation there, with something in the title which will let people know what you are asking about. That way you'll be much more likely to get useful advice.

(Hello by the way! It's nice here, but can seem a bit big and scary at first!)

Weegiemum · 19/08/2008 17:14

@LizziAndB - Cambuslang to Shawlands? Must be worth the commute! Shame I can't figure out which one it is! I don't know any Brethern churches in Shawlands, or anyone from my Bible College who goes to one.

minnymin · 19/08/2008 23:59

hi,

just returned home after working in Dubai, looking for a family friendly, welcoming, happy evangelical church to take my 3 yr old to, im in lichfield, staffs, any advice how i find one please....scuse pool writing but only using one hand as lying down

thanks

blithedance · 20/08/2008 00:34

Minnymin

You aren't too far from us. Welcome home by the way.

I don't live in Lichfield but know a few people who do

Wade Street church is fairly informal, have never been to a service, but people there are very kind (the ones I know!) and I believe it's the sort of well run largish church where you could go for a while until you have found your feet.

If you were up for a bit of a drive, Rising Brook Baptist church in Burton on Trent could fit your criteria, but it's not exactly in your community is it? We know the leaders there from ages back.

It's a bit hard going to different churches as you can find yourself getting committed somewhere that's not quite right, hope the Lord leads you to a good home in any case.

blithedance · 20/08/2008 00:38

or this one??

totalmisfit · 27/08/2008 19:43

so very many evangelicals...

i think they're style over substance, personally.

we go to a very liberal and traditional CofE.

Jesus was about tolerance, forgiveness and gentleness not bleating on about homosexuality and abortion imvho.

If you came to my rather CHarismatic evangelical church TM, you would find this in a huge amount.

We're not all the same - we're certainly not all intolerant bigots. The media and even the more liberal churches like to portray it that way. But its not.

And "style over substance" - again, I have found that as much in liberal as in evangelical churches. You have made some HUGE sweeping generalisations here.

QuintessentialShadow · 28/08/2008 08:55

ummmm. I was brought up Lutheran. I was involved in my local Anglican CofE in London, editor of the newsletter and organizing events, but dh is Catholic (lapsed). Our kids received a Catholic baptism (and our oldest went to Catholic scohol) Now I have to find my way, as I find Lutheran service very.... theological-philosophical and heavy, lasting often nearly 3 hours of sitting still.....

Any other Lutherans out here?

littlebrownmouse · 28/08/2008 20:33

I'm a methodist too cat64, have been all my life although parents didn't go to church/are not Christians. I go to an Evangelical Methodist church with a good mix of ages and plenty going on - housegroups, prayer meetings, Sunday Club, Youth clubs etc. I'm a worship leader and often lead worship and take the family services. Enjoy it a lot and have some good friends there as well as getting good teahcing (mostly) and good discussions at housegroup. Sounds perfect.......its not, I'm just quite positive at the moment!

MaryBS · 31/08/2008 22:09

Bythepowerofgreyskull, I went on a church visit to that NF church in Cambridge. I loved it! I had to visit a church quite different from my own, as part of my ministry training and chose there...

I'm Charismatic High Anglican, for want of a better label...
