Have you ever been forced into something that you absolutely would have never done if you didn’t have to? This fear became my reality last Sunday. For the first time in my eighteen years of my life I stepped foot into a church. I choose a local church for this experience called The First Reformed Church.

As I walked out I was told things like “God bless you” and “have a good day”.
In the end I didn’t look at religion any different after going to church. I will say though the church was basically brand new and looked very modern in the inside which I liked. Also I guess some of the things the
