1st if I were you I'd write an apology letter to the Church. Say everything you are sorry for and that you didn't know what you were doing. Say that you need God in your life and you can't live without him. Say that you won't do it again and you seek to know God better. 2nd a life of sin ultimately leads to DEATH. This world has many pleausre, but is it worth your soul. For God you have to be Hot or Cold. You can't be luke for it says in his word that he will spit you of his mouth and into the Lake of Fire. Jesus Loves you and he deosn't want to see you out of church or in sin. Write that letter and let your heart pour out in it.
-God Bless

I know it can be difficult to not be part a faith community. In a world like this, we all need something. The most I can suggest is to pray that God bring you into some other church, be it your former church or a new one. I believe that if a person is sincere in their faith, they will be led to where they need to go. Maybe this door is shutting so that new opportunities for you can be opened.
Praying is the best thing you can do right now.
Sorry for getting preachy.

It depends on whether, in your heart, you believe in the rules you broke or not.
If you believe that those rules *are* definitely the right way for you to live, then think about why you broke them, whether it's possible for you to change your behavior, and then go talk to whoever's in charge.
If, deep down, you believe that those rules are not right for you, then you should certainly find another church. I'm sure you can locate another church that's more accepting, but just as spiritually fulfilling.

If your church wont accept you, it must not be the right church for you. Look into being mormon, they will accept you and it is the right church.

I would look for another church. All the things you loved about your church can probably be found in another church.
I wonder if you are LDS. I have know a <i>lot</i> of excommunicated LDS and Mormons. It doesn't take much. If you are, you are not alone.

Even though you had probably made many great friends and experienced many fond memories at your old church, it is time for you to move on. If you enjoyed church so much then it would probably be a good idea to start going to a different church.

It does seem like you may need to find another Church, though I will need to know why you were excommunicated before I can make a decision.

You need to look at new churches. A church that would excommunicate you isn't one that you should be attending anyway. The Bible calls us to love sinners, not excommunicate them. Jesus never kicked out a diciple for straying off the path, did he? He even forgave Judas, for heaven's sake.
Shrug it off. It'll be tough, but this church is not right for anybody, you included.
