Yes, I've been going on a regular basis however prior to joining I am still learning the culture of the UPCI. For instance, it appears that everyone crowds over one person when they are at the altar (this is not so where I come from.....we form lines and just one person prays over the soul). Also, they dont formally dismiss church services nor "open the doors of the church" for membership. (where I come from, we litterally have a dismissal and if souls are still at the altar, we just dont bother them...those that want to leave LEAVE and those that are staying just stay...we also formally open the doors of the church for membership after the preached Word and baptisms). So I am still feeling my way through this whole thing....
I tell you one thing (lol) I've already taken my mustache down to a thin line


and shaved off most of my chin hairs....I guess you can say its neatly groomed.......

but thats another topic.
