Today Mark and I went to church for the first time as a married coupled. We have been struggling on what religion we want to practice. Mark was raised as Methodist and I was raised Catholic. We both felt that its not fair to pressure the other to convert to a religion that didn't feel right. To solve this we decided that we would visit all types of denominations to find the correct church and beliefs for us as a couple. We realize that WE both need to to feel comfortable in the church's beliefs. This Sunday we went to a Catholic Church in downtown Knoxville.
Beth's Thoughts:
1. Parish was an older generation
2. Good Gospel
3. Felt a little out of place
Mark's Thoughts:
1. Reminded me of uptight Methodist Service
2. Good Gospel
3. Kneeing not my cup of tea :)
I told Mark that there was a new Catholic Church on the westside of Knoxville and before we totally rule out the Catholic Church we should visit it to see if it is a younger parish.
Next week we are going to visit the United Methodist Church downtown Knoxville.
Stay tune to see our thoughts....

I had to leave a comment! Dana and I really love going to church together...now that we have little ones, our church family has really helped us out and encouraged us in so many ways!
You guys might think of a Lutheran church...or even a nondenominational church...sometimes those are best when two people have "mixed" backgrounds! I hope you guys find a place you can call home!! Love, Leanne
