Jumping jurisdictions

I've found a very small OCA mission that is about 40 minutes away from me. I'm thinking about checking it out. While I enjoy the greek Church that I visit sometimes, it really isn't a good permanent fit. The kids get nothing out of it and refuse to go because they don't understand what anyone is saying.

In the end I would probably still end up going alone, but hopefully I would go more often if I understood the Liturgy better. I have a tendancy to be complacent and procrastinate. Unfortunately, the language barrier doesn't help this at all.

I casually mentioned the subject last night and didn't recieve negative reaction about driving so far so I may be able to check it out in a couple of weeks when my work schedule clears again. I definitely want to be attending somewhere semi-regularly before Pascha.

From the photos on the Church website it looks like they a bit more conservative in dress and at least half of the women cover their hair during services. There is also a small female monastic community nearby that sometimes attends there. An OCA mission would probably also be more "convert friendly" and more likely to have an english liturgy. Perhaps this would be a better fit.

I'm still praying and mulling over the possibility, but I am considering contacting the priest soon.
