Places of worship that you most found the spirit?

[Valke2]

At Sha’ar services, which are often held in the homes of congregants. Lot’s of music, great drash (sermons) and lots of spirit.

I love The divine Mercy Chaplet when they sing it on the weekends. The two white woman and the black man are great when they sing it…beautiful…

I love that one, too!! I especially tear up when they show the older gentleman praying with tears streaming down his face! I snatched up the CD when it came in at the local Catholic bookstore!

I feel the presence so intensely (sp?) whenever incense is used at Mass. I felt it at Gesu and St. Peter’s. It’s almost suffocating!!!

I attend both a catholic and a non-denominational church and personally I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit more in the non-denominational church than I do in the catholic church.

My present church is as close as I’ve ever gotten to my ideal.
I LOVE huge ceilings, gothic architexture, an organ, a choir chanting, the incense, the candles burning with prayer asking the the intercssion of the Holy Mother.
Surrounded by the smells, sights and sounds, I truely am spiritually awakened.

I attend the CC because of my beliefs, and the Kingdom Hall because of my husband’s. I have NEVER felt the presence of the Holy Spirit at the Kingdom Hall, but I always feel it at the CC, and in a strong sense. As soon as I come into the Church I feel it present.

My husband and I went to Israel on a business trip in 2001. I was waiting and waiting for that “spiritual experience”. We stayed in a kibbutz on the shores of the sea of Galilee for Shabbot on one of the nights.

The following morning, we boarded a boat to take a tour of the sea. As we headed from the shore, the captain had cranked up the tunes and it was an obnoxious rock and roll sounding thing. I politely asked him to turn it off by making what I thought was an international sign for “cut”. I made a slashing motion with my hand from my left side of the neck to the other.

The man yelled at me in Arabic, then yelled at me in Hebrew. I couldn’t understand either so he finally looked at me with big brown eyes and bushy eyebrows down saying, “You want to cut my head off?”

I sat down and shut up after that. ROFL

in Christ

I have felt God’s presence so heavily in my church I felt I couldn’t stand up. One of the most unusual places for me was the Haggia Sophia in Istanbul. It was converted to a mosque and is now a museum. There are no Christian services there yet when I walked into the sanctuary God’s presence was very real. I don’t think it’s places since if we are a Christian we have the Holy Spirit living in us but I think it’s our own recognition at times that God is God and I am to be in awe of him. Some places and times help us recognize him better.

:yup:, That’s the truth! And the spirit is not limited to Christians.
