Can I Only Meet God in Church?

I feel a strange of sense of disconnect with my church, my hour of worship, my time with the Lord. Church time is supposed to be spiritual time but I’ve slowly realized in Nigeria it’s so much more. 

It’s networking. It’s artists' showcase. It’s “Let’s find our potential husband” showcase. It’s “Let’s pretend that we’re praying but you know we’re really not.” It's "Let's pretend that our marriage is still intact" time. It’s catching up with the neighbor, family and friends who traveled over the holidays and has casually ignored our calls. It’s showing off that new outfit you got at Harrods where you probably shopped over the weekend. It’s everything but church worship, God worship, time with God. Watching this spectacle unfold has just left me feeling disconnected. Estranged. Confused. Befuddled. Disillusioned. I know a substantial portion of Christians who refuse to enter a place of worship for these same reasons. They just settle in and pray, commune with God. Should I join them? Will God miss me? Will God punish me? It upsets me that it has come to this...but what else is there to do, sit there and observe the worship of everything else but God.

So to you...if you believe (I ask because I've recently encountered some folks who don't believe) in God, do you think it's necessary to worship Him in a church?
