[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are really overthinking this. My friends from book club, marriage group, etc have all been told that we moved for a better youth group fit and that I am happy to be at a church that has a more local, social justice mission where I think I can find slots to volunteer more easily.

No one is mad at me about it. I mean, sure, I wouldn’t say to the lady that ran Sunday school, “we hated the Sunday school.” But you can certainly say you were looking for a pastor that aligned better with what you were looking for to speak to the moment.

But if you really hate the Sunday school and a dinner at the same table as her would be hard, then don’t go. But you may be losing opportunities to connect with the women you really like. There is one woman in our book club who is challenging for me to be around. But I’m not dropping the club because of her. I just focus on the other 6-8 people there that I’m really happy to see.

Most people really don’t care why you change churches. My close friends know that there are some specific things to why we left and they are happy I’ve found a good fit. The people I enjoy seeking but are not “my BFFs” don’t have as much detail, but are still happy we are happy.[/quote]

This. People move churches all the time and this is just not a super controversial reason. It doesn’t matter if you don’t go to the same church anymore. They invited you; you want mom friends. They are welcoming you. You have easy relationships with a bunch of them. You’re all religious, even if you now sit in a different church on Sunday. You’re making life more complicated than it needs to be based on your unsubstantiated perceptions of their feelings about you. [/quote]
