But my husbands Aunt their Grandmother lived down in Glendale for a short while, (mind you she is OLD time UPC) and she called my husband once while living there and said she was so upset that they (her grandkids) were attending RG's church! She said she could not believe the mindset of the folks there. Her words were "no one has a corner on heaven". She left shortly there after and moved back to her home state. My immediate family has passed away, Mom, my Uncle who was minister here in AZ, the only one left in AZ is my Aunt my uncle's wife and she treats me fine. I haven't left God, just an organization.
I think AZ is just kind of messed up as far as the UPC end of it. If I was somewhere else I would of probably just moved to a more moderate UPC church. But being in AZ has really ruined what my Husband thinks of the UPC, the stuff they did to him and the lies they said about him has really caused him to NOT ever want to go to a UPC church.

What churches have you gone to there? We're moving to the Mesa/Gilbert/Chandler area in a few short months.
