My advice is to find the Church that Christ established, and the practical ways to do that are prayer and searching. My advice will differ from JRose's in that I hold that it IS important to find, not any church, or even a church you feel comfortable with, but the actual Church that Christ established - and it is very likely that some aspects of it will make you uncomfortable, at least at first.
Searching should involve, among other things, learning about the history of the Church, especially the first millenium. That, imo, narrows down the search to a great extent. It does NOT involve simply walking into the first church you see. But again, prayer is really important, too.
