I've ntoiced there seems to be a glitch in making the churhc into a smooth running whole. CLasses break up into age groups and lifestlye groups, but yet somehow in my experience this doesn't bring the church as a whole necessarily any closer. Am I being picky?

I don't like to say "the church has such and such problem" but maybe I have a problem. Being single, it's just hard to find my niche in any church I go to. Except for the truly huge ones I find it hard to get that support people keep saying is so essectial to a Christian walk, and I do believe I suffer for it. *shrugs*

What to do what to do? Plus here I am out in the boonies now far away from the big churches like I just mentioned. :eek:
 
I think it is normal for groups to form in the churches - those who are in the same stages in life are often the ones who can sharpen the countenance of their bretheren - but we should not be exclusionist in this. If you want more friends and relationships in the church you must be more friendly ( not saying that you are not) and put time and effort into establishing further relationships with people from all types. Being proactive in this will keep you too busy to be worried about this! You already have a spiritual relationship with these people - so youre off to a good start...
Some of the relationships I have now with older people in the church took a lot of effort on my part so as not to be annoyed with some of their peculiarities - but over time we are great mates (Australian word for Pal) and the work has paid off big time.

Hope this helps - the smaller the assembly - the closer the knit...
