My neighbors have all kindly reached out asking them to mellow, but it is 7:42 pm and here we are still hearing the pickling. If the hours stopped at 5 or they used quieter paddles, I would cut them some slack. Our HOA has made excessively strict rules about the game, and as someone who loves to play, I'm not opposed. I just wished they would think about the fact they set up in a community with people who have tough jobs and would occasionally like to come home to some peace and quiet.

I was referred by a family member who has been coming for years and they were so right! From the beginning and even now the treatment of respect and understanding from staff to the congregation is all there. The events they put on to help bring you closer to your faith and to communicate with other people is a bonus rather than just a normal Sunday service(s). I have been service with them shortly after and can say even behind the scene's they take the challenges head on to make sure that all are welcome no matter what and that the children even have a great experience so that way the adults can encounter God. I love to call this church our church family. Its not a church you attend but a family where you belong.

The head pastor is phenomenal. However, the youth and kids ministry is terrible. The teachers in…read morethe youth have zero control, kids are on their cell phones playing games, interrupting etc. They don't break up into small groups at youth group so it is impossible to meet other kids. The teachers are extremely focused on "bringing your friends from school" and that is about it! My boys attended for one year (5th and 7th grade) and didn't make a single friend. The women's ministry is lacking--they meet once a month if you have a toddler. The life groups fill up quickly and I wasn't allowed to join because it was "too late, too full." It's probably just too big.

We are celebrating our first year as members of St. Andrew's, having moved to the area about 3…read moreyears ago. At our first service we felt we found our church home. We were welcomed by the people we sat with as though they already knew us and soon learned that this congregation lives the Gospel! St. Andrew's community outreach and social justice work is without equal in North County. We joined the weekly food pantry volunteers and it's a highlight of our week. It's a small miracle that we can source, pick up, set up and give out over a ton of food to 250+ families every week. We learned that many volunteers are 'outside' the congregation--it's a broader community effort to serve our guests each week. Also, we're a bit surprised that we WANT to be at Sunday services nearly every week. We get a spiritual shot in the arm to help us 'go forth' and find some joy and goodness in the world and do good. Our biggest takeaway from our first year is that the parish staff and lay members authentically embrace, respect and care for each other. That church culture enables us to do the same for our neighbors.

Father Jim is a priest's priest w/ a terrific sense of humor who gladly shares the TRUTH of our faith. I especially like having the opportunity to kneel for Holy Communion & the generous amount of time given to the Exposition of the Sacred Body of Christ during Eucharistic Adoration. The Altar Society is active & reverent & there are a surprising number of reverent younger men in the Knights of Columbus. Weekly talks are given in the hall by visiting scholars & the community enjoys wonderful opportunities to "break bread" with one another at social events & the delicious Lenten Fish Fry. (ALSO love those dedicated cooks at 1st Sunday of the Month Taco & Enchilada sales - shout out to Maria!!) I have recently moved to a very nice parish in Fort Worth, but do miss the MOST IMPACTFUL parish I have ever belonged to, St John the Evangelist.

As I had recently attended another tour organized by them I knew that this would not disappoint. Oh my, it exceeded expectations! I would not enter the post-modern architectural label by Charles Moore, as another fellow Yelper has said it all with details. I will tell you how this place made me feel. The Church of Nativity made me feel at home, welcomed, nurtured. The presenter/tour guide is a lawyer who grew up attending it and still does. He did an excellent job making people welcome (we were many attendees) and answered the questions with grace and knowledge. Thanks so much to him and all that participated. The gardens with orange trees are wonderful and peaceful. I loved the asymmetry in the disposition of the seating areas, the cross not placed where you would expect, the minimalism, the pristine state of everything. My favorite thing was the stars sculpture/lights adorning the altar. That is so unique. Never seen that at any church and just the craftsmanship, design and quality of materials is impressive. Another favorite part were those unique stained glass windows. So enchanting. It was a very sensorial experience for me, even if no music was played, I think I heard a celestial choir direct from heaven! A must visit hidden gem (whether you are spiritually inclined or not).
