Thank you Truegrits, that is very handy to know! I'm going to try and get a hold of someone today from my local meetinghouse and find out if the regular meeting is still being held, would it be different for different countries? I'm in Australia and you guys(accept for Moewymer) are in the US.

Thanks for your replies. I have an 11 year old son and 2 daughters, 5 and 4 and I really think it will be good for them too. I'm really looking forward to heading back to church this Sunday, can't wait!

I was baptised into the church at the age of 11, but became inactive from lack of support from my mother and hey a kid can't get to church herself. It's now been nearly 20 years since I was active and my life has taken many twists and turns and I feel the need to return stronger than ever. I'm a single parent with 3 beautiful children. The children's father and I never married and we have not live together for 5 years. So I guess my questions are, can I just go to my local church to attend a service, or do I need to speak with the Bishop first? Do I need to have the discussions with the Missionaries again? I've landed back in the same area as I was when I was baptised, can I go back to that congregation, or do I need to go to my closest one? Will I be accepted back after all this time and will I be accepted even though I had children out of wedlock?
