Is there any particular reason you don't want to show up by yourself at church? I mean, do you just feel self-conscious or is something about the church and its congregation that causes you to feel out of place? I am never alone at my church, even when no one else from my house can attend with me on a particular Sunday. My church community is my family.

The small group ministry issue does seem like more of a dilemma. If it were me, I would probably join the young married class. I would attend on my own when I had to and ask hubby to come along when he could. I suspect this group will be more than sympathetic to your situation! Perhaps the minister of the church will be able to counsel you on this decision as well. And maybe, once you feel more settled into the community, you can start your own class and invite others to join!
