Religion advice needed (by buttercup10)

Hi I hope this is the correct section, but I need a little advice if anyone can help. A couple years ago I was takin my child to church and Sunday school, some thing between the school and I happened and I didn't feel comfortable there any more. The down side my child greatly enjoyed Sunday school classes and since I no longer feel comfortable there and haven't been takin my child they are missing out on what they enjoyed, my child always prays and the prayers have been answered on more than one occasion. Do I take my child to another church or leave things the way they are now? Mind you I never set foot in a church when I was younger I only started after I gave birth to my child so I don't know much about religion or God for that matter. I'm torn on what to do

Can you try to find another church? You feel torn because you love your child, it's a good thing. I went to church when I was really little but a similar falling out occurred and I never went again. While I don't regret that because it was never an enjoyable experience for me, I will say that all churches are different and if you are uncomfortable there, maybe you can look for another, or, since it was several years ago, try again and see how it feels now.
You might want to try to join a Bible study, where you can ask questions and get to know the Lord in an open environment. Or invest in a study Bible, they make ones for cases just like yours.
I hope everything works out!! :)

@ThatNerdyChick: thank you, and yes I love my child more than my own life and would do anything so she is happy in her life. As young as she is she is like my best friend, we tall about a lot and she loves trying to help mommy with decisions lol I love her and she misses Sunday school and learning all she can about everything in the world

You should find another church that you feel comfortable with and that you feel you can trust. Also, maybe you can assist in the class sometimes just so you see how the class works, etc.
