Batizado Weekends Make me Contemplative

We spend a lot of weekends in nature...and not in church. I'd like to say that my spiritual life has only been enhanced by all this time in nature, but that isn't completely true. It's more like I just don't feel bad about being in nature and climbing, hiking 14ers, etc. on the Sabbath. But honestly I don't get the same spiritual nourishment as I do going to church; I feel like I lose some connection to my spiritual life...or maybe I just feel this way if I'm never going to church (like right now). The problem is, if I were to only go to church on Sabbath and miss out on our nature weekends, I know I would feel trapped and would secretly be resentful.
When I was in college, all of this wasn't much of an issue. My friends and I had plenty of outdoor activities we loved to do in no more than an hour away from our homes. We could go to church (usually the wonderfully early Spanish church), then head off towards the rock or river. Nature, social, and spiritual yearnings satiated. Since that time I've lived in places where that isn't really feasible. And well, I love road tripping, seeing new places, and all of our friends live in other parts of the state. So traveling off we go.
But I've felt myself drifting spiritually, and I think there needs to be some sort of balance. How badly and how often do we humans need to be involved in collective worship?

En Tus Pupilas
Letra de En Tus Pupilas :
Quand tu me prends dans tes bas
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois que Dieu existe
C' est pas dur croire
Antes de conocerte el mundo era plano
Aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei
Y me canse de besar ranas en vano
Pero el príncipe azul
Jamás no encontré
Y así llegaste tu
Devolviéndome la fe
Sin poemas y sin flores
Con defectos con errores
Pero en pie
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir
Tu lo haces vivir
Tu lo haces vivir
La vida es una colección de recuerdos
Pero a nada como tu recuerdo tan bien
Desde la redondez de tus labios
Al olor de tu pelo
Al color de tu piel
No pienses que te iras y me voy a resignar
Eres lo mejor que me ha pasado
Entre lo mundano y lo sagrado
Y aun mas
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir
Tu lo haces vivir
Tu lo haces vivir
Quand tu me prends dans tes bas
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois que Dieu existe
C' est pas dur croire
Antes de conocerte el mundo era plano
Aunque lo discuta usted Señor Galilei
Y me canse de besar ranas en vano
Pero el príncipe azul
Jamás no encontré
Y así llegaste tu
Devolviéndome la fe
Sin poemas y sin flores
Con defectos con errores
Pero en pie
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir
Tu lo haces vivir
Tu lo haces vivir
La vida es una colección de recuerdos
Pero a nada como tu recuerdo tan bien
Desde la redondez de tus labios
Al olor de tu pelo
Al color de tu piel
No pienses que te iras y me voy a resignar
Eres lo mejor que me ha pasado
Entre lo mundano y lo sagrado
Y aun mas
Y siento
Algo en ti algo entre los dos
Que me hace insistir
Cuando miro en tus pupilas se que Dios no dejo de existir
Tu lo haces vivir
Tu lo haces vivir
