Everyone was happy. The new building is spacious, modern, yet cozy. The congregants were very welcomming. The Rabbi (on the young side with 3 young children) seemed very affable and had a great singing voice. (I latter learned he had been a Cantor.) The service was relaxed and surprisingly engageing. (At least it surprised me.) We were searching for a synaguge mainly for our 2 boys then 6 and 8. To be continued - My son now 11 is requesting the computer to play his games.

I visited the church's morning service on November 22, 2009. The service began at 10:30 AM and ended promptly at 11:30 AM. There is a "coffee fellowship time" after the service which I was not able to attend. First Baptist church is a small church - capacity for about 198 people, there were about 45 attenders the service I was there. The people are very friendly, going out of their way to seek out visitors after the service. The dress is business casual - ranging from button-up shirts to suits an ties The worship style is traditional, although there is a small part of the service in which worship choruses are sung. The church had a community feel with members speaking up during announcements, and being encouraged to chime in at designated times during the congregational prayer. The pastor's sermon was topical, somewhat wandering, and drawn from both an Old Testament and a New Testament passage that was read in full. While the congregational age ranged from about 30 to over 80, but definitely leaned toward the senior citizen range. Overall, it was a pleasant worship experience. This traditional church was warm and inviting.

We like the friendliness of the members and pastor, and feel spiritually nourished each time we go. Like many small churches, First Baptist is changing as younger families become members, and the desires for the worship format evolve. We love the church because of its strong commitment to the community and to the greater world community. Outreach programs not only reach the homeless and those seeking to conquer addictions, but help bring medical aid to other countries, and financial and work relief to areas in this country devastated by natural disasters suc as hurricane Katrina. The church is inclusive and welcoming, and the pastor brings the word to the congregation based on sound theology and a loving concern for all.

Rabbi Joshua seemed very nice and intelligent at first and I was really looking forward to this community. However I found out Joshua's character when I told him I was upset about the killings in Gaza. When I suggested that Yeshua's teachings be followed in this situation, he scoffed at me as if he thought the teachings of Yeshua were ridiculous. He straight up attacked me calling me an anti semite (me, a Jew) when I expressed distress over the suffering of the orphans in Gaza and his social media feed is full of propaganda in support of tribalism, a genocidal state, promotion of war, not peace. I later saw him and his wife when they brought their son to a public meeting in Hamden to try to convince the Hamden City Council not to pass a resolution in support of peace (ceasefire). This person does not respect human life and promotes hateful tribal ideology which is the polar opposite of Yeshua, the Christ's, teachings.

I visited the church's morning service on October 4, 2009. The service began about 10:00 AM, and ended about 11:45 AM. This is a small church - 90 chairs are set up on a Sunday, and this week there were about 45 attenders. The people are very welcoming and friendly, seeking out visitors but not overwhelming on the first visit. The dress is casual, and the worship style is contemporary. The service was about 1/3 music lead by lay people, about 1/3 communion (they celebrate the Lord's supper every Sunday) and church business (baptism, scripture reading and reflections by Elders, offering), and about 1/3 sermon (children's church is offered during the sermon). The sermon itself was expository out of Revelation 3, and was a good mix of scholarly discussion and direct application to the Congregation's lives. The pastor has no pulpit, but walked freely about the church, and enjoys a very interactive (but not socratic) style of presentation. Overall, I had a very good experience at the church. The gospel is preached, the people take care of each other, and there is a strong emphasis on ministering to the community around them.

In order to be more like God would have us to be we ALL must be taught what God would have us to be. No more, no less. God's way is simple to understand but hard to accomplish within ourselves. That is because of ourselves not because of God. What's God's way and his word? If you really and truly want to know, go to Reclaim and spend a few years finding out. Learn the truth and live it with all of your might. There is NO downside to doing so. I hope to meet you some day.
