I am going to take most of this year off

I am going to spend most of this year away from my local congregation. There is really nothing or, no one there for me. It is not worth the hour long drive each way and while I enjoy the services , the music, the aesthetics, I have started to grow bored with it .

I will honor the money pledged and contribute financially for those who enjoy it. For me, I have decided not to attend regularly, I will go back at the end of the year and see how things are going.

Likely, no one will notice my absence or care. If I want to hear what is going on, I can watch it online anyway.

I am making a few other "lifestyle" changes this year as well. I am planning to travel this summer, something I have not done in a couple of years. I also have some projects and chores here at home and taking all day Sunday to work on them will decrease my anxiety and stress in life.

I am not looking to find a different church or a different congregation I am just taking an extended vacation from church.
