I’m a little confused about how to write a review about a church, but I’m going to give it a try.
I grew up in this church. I could list all my activities, but I want to write about Follen. Follen was always a place for me to have a community of adults and kids older and younger than me that I wasn’t related to. I have heard the phrase «it takes a village to raise a child» and Follen was my village.
I’m not sure I see myself going to church ever again in my life, attending services or that sort of thing, but I’m sure in the hypothetical someday when I have kids, I want them to have access to this type of community. There were so many ways to interact outside of the religious aspect — especially the youth group I was in in high school, and the choir, and the well-​done sexual education program.
And the religious aspect wasn’t overbearing by any means — we’re UU for crying out loud. I still remember my favorite sermon I ever heard — it was titled, «it’s not okay to say you can’t play» which was about children, and adults, learning how to include people. Things like that always leave their mark and I carry it with me in my life.
So I don’t know who will read this review, but if you’re looking for a church where people are fun and just looking for other people like them who really care, about everything, then I wholeheartedly recommend it.
