Upsetting fruit why?

Maybe I just have a bad attitude or maybe I'm just naturally a pessimist.
I just wasted my whole evening, that I could've spent studying, at church playing a dumb game. Upset the fruit basket. Seriously itsn't church supposed to be for more than playing dumb games?
That is one of the stupidest games ever. They wanted to do dodgeball but it rained so we couldn't. I could've at least skipped that somehow. They made us play and it was so not fun! You go to church to learn about God and grow in him, not waste your time. And that's what I felt like I was doing. Wasting my time.
When I go to college, I want to move away and switch churches. Church is good, I know, but I really don't like mine. I'm all for going to church, really. But I feel like I don't learn at my church. I don't feel close to God there, and that's what I want. I always thought church was supposed to help, not hinder. . . Like I said, it could just be my attitude.
Dude, I had a lot of homework, but no, I couldn't stay home. I have to go to church. For what purpose exactly? What spiritual growth will I attain by playing upset the fruit basket?
I feel like I'm babbling, but I'm a little frustrated at the moment.
The only thing I can come up with is that God wanted me there for a reason. What reason? I have no clue.

Maybe to realize that you hunger for Him.

God sometimes allows us to feel uncomfortable in order to tell us something.

I understand your frustration, I've been there. But let me remind you a little of the One you love: Jesus.

This one breathed breath out of Himself and into His disciples. He imparted something of Himself as the Spirit into those He loves ... that list of "those He loves" includes you. It is easy to get a fresh experience of salvation ... salvation from the emptiness -- just by "breathing" the name of Jesus. This may seem unusual today, but it wasn't back then. Saul (who became Paul) had authorization to bind the Christians - and the way he knew who they were was by their calling on Jesus name! And in the book of Romans we are told that those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I don't know about you, but I know that although I have everlasting salvation secured -- I still need to be saved moment by moment. Calling on His name saves me. He comes to me and saves me out of my frustration. He saves me out of my self-pity. He saves me into Himself!
