To be fair Rob and I are relative youngsters in our church. The congregation is quite elderly and we have been there almost 3 years but with a couple of exceptions we have we haven't been invited to anyone's home, don't know anyone's phone numbers or addresses... If we meet up it is in church for a service or function or very occassionally I have bumped into someone from church in the supermarket. The pastor has emailed a couple of times and his wife telephoned once but other than that there has been no contact.
We haven't attended church recently because at first we had a houseguest and then wasn't feeling too good and couldn't rush to get up the morning in time for the service and then a friend of ours had to move house at very short notice and had no-one else to help her. Now we are helping her get the house in some sort of order as it was left in a very poor condition.
Church and church attendance has always been important to us be we felt it more important to put our faith into practice when we knew of someone in need, but we can't help feeling somewhat invisible and abandoned by our church

Good Morning. I hope CF is working better today.

I have been able to compose some rather lengthy posts onscreen
and been able to submit them without 'failure'



Hope you are having a good day

Maybe it is time to find a church with people closer to your own age. I know we left a church once because of that. I pray God gives you the wisdom you need and leads you to where you need to be even if it's where your at.

I hope it's not my imagination that CF appears to be working much better and faster. I haven't gotten any time outs today at all. I did see a notice about the system being down for maintenance last night when I tried to log on. Whatever they did appears to be very positive.

We're getting ready for some really cold weather here. We've even been to the store for what we need in case we're snowed in several days. And, my wife is cooking a special TexMex chicken soup that should warm us up.

I hope that everyone has a beautiful evening.

May God lead your church into what it means to be be the body of Christ; and lead you to your place in His church, whether it is there, or elsewhere.

We have a busy day on Sunday. Benjamin is having a photo shoot done in the late morning. The Search for the American Model. If he's picked then on the 19th he has to do 45sec. of some kind of talent. (going to have him sing) plus a fashion show. Should be fun!

 

[RestoreTheRiver]

I had a busy Sunday too. For the first time in my life, I took part in three different worship services, in three different cities! I preached in two, which isn't unusual these past few months, as we have a team ministry in the network of missions of which we are a part.

What was unusual was driving an hour and ten minutes each way to the west side of Indianapolis this evening, for another service. But, it was the first service at our newest mission, and I was pleased and privileged to be there.

So, it was a busy, but wonderful, Sunday!

Michael

 

[keeptrying]

Good luck to Benjamin!

Restoretheriver, it sounds like you did have a busy Sunday!

Ours was very quiet.

 

[gratefulgrace]

Yeah go benjamin go. I had church then a memorial time at my friends home in honour of her mom for a couple of hours. I was supposed to cook dinner for everyone when i got home but I collapsed and napped for 2 hours. They ate sausages and eggs without me.

 

[davedajobauk]

'sausages and eggs' ....mmmmmmmmmmmh

sounds like they camped-out around the pan :rofl:

Have
a
Very Merry Christmas
Everybody!!!​

Ho Ho Ho ​

[nChrist]

Sausage and eggs is one of my favorites, so I would be camped out around the pan.

Add some coffee to that, and I would be a happy camper. I'm also getting anxious for Christmas. We'll get to see all of our kids and grandkids, and it's one of our favorite times of the year.

 

[kaykay9.0]

sausages and eggs make a nice Sunday night dinner IMO!

 

[RestoreTheRiver]

Let me take this opportunity to ask a "bonehead" question. What is "IMO?" I see it used as "shorthand" all the time, but, i don't know what it means.

Thanks.

Michael
