thoughts...

A church's role in the community should be to reach out and make their community better.  The congregation should be made of people that genuinely want to reach out to others.  I'm finding that it's hard to find that in close proximity to where I live.  The church we attend is nice, but there's something missing.  It's missing the warmth of genuinely wanting to reach out and remember me the next time.  It's missing order.  I'm a little bummed about it but it may be that the pastor I grew up with really knows how to run a church and no one will ever compare.

I feel nervous to ever leave Lucas in their nursery because when I was there last time, the lady keeping the nursery asked someone she didn't even know to watch the child that was already there as she led another adult to show her where the bathrooms were across the building.  Red flag on top of red flag.

Not only that, the couples my age don't reach out to new people.  It's way too cliquey for me, I think.  And, I'm sad about that.
