sakuragirl Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have been less active for about 6 years and too be honest I have been really depressed in that time. Last night I decided I needed to come back to church and today has been a great and happy day. Until now, when I realized I don't know where I need to go. In the 6 years I have moved too far away from my old ward (about 10,000 miles) and I really don't know where to start to look for my ward here in the states. Can anyone help me with where to look to get the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant find it on the map simply look up the directory in your area and call any church office or indivuldual {bishop" e.t.c....} or go online to the missionaries. Or you can contact any member whom you trust to give your address and phone to to get a hold of your bishop.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alana Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Gwen, that's a great link. Beats just looking up the number in the phone book and hoping someone answers! (I've done that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemidakota Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Much easier....a few complaints were made to those who are responbile and thus, the church made it alot easier to find a local meeting house. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeuroTypical Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hi Sakuragirl, From one returned inactive to another, welcome. I remember how intimidating it was to walk back into a church after 6-ish years. And yet surprisingly, they didn't make me sit up on the podium wearing a big sign that said "sinner". I recommend being honest with who you are and what you would like to see. People can be much more useful to you if they understand where you're coming from.

sakuragirl Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Loud I have to admit I am terrified of going back not only because I am inactive but for the last 8 months I have left my house on average once every 2-3 weeks and each time has been for less than an hour. I glad to hear that you dont have to wear a huge sign or anything like that, but it does feel like there will be a sign there anyway.
