I agree completely. I am not a Mormon, yet I have always felt welcome and accepted at my local FHC in the small town where I live. It has been difficult to find a "good" time, however due to their scheduling and my own. They were originally open from 10 AM to 4 PM on Tues, Wed, and Thurs. I was able to go on Thursdays and spent every Thursday afternoon among people whose interests were closer to my own than any of my normal "church" friends. However, I must admit that I have been disappointed for the past year when the new "director" decided they would no longer be there on Thursdays and so I've been unable to return as my Tuesdays and Wednesdays are already scheduled and must take precedence over any other days. It is my hope that eventually, they will decide to open again on Thursdays - I have ordered a lot of films that are there waiting for me to view.
