[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have 3 kids and were both raised catholic, and all 3 kids have been baptized as such.  But my local catholic church is not fulfilling - we had my K son take CCD there this year and the parents we came across when dropping him off and picking him up seemed so, well, stuffy.  We've not been actively engaged in the church either, it just seems so formal (the few masses we've attended).  Now that the kids (6, 4, 1) are getting older, I think it's important to become more active in a community church, and I visited a Methodist church today that seems very nice.  It's much more laid back than my catholic-church experience, and everyone I met was very nice.  They have infant care for the younger one, and Sunday School for the older ones, which was a huge plus - I was able to listen to the sermon and relax, unlike my catholic church experiences.

So, I guess my question is, are you involved in a church and, if so, has it been of benefit to your family?  I have catholic guilt also going on here, what can I do to ease that guilt if I'm considering joining a Methodist church instead?  I think it's important for my kids to become acclimated to the teachings, but I also want a family-friendly environment that has us wanting to go to church and it's activities, rather than feeling a guilt-ridden need to do so otherwise.  TIA![/quote]
