Hello, All

[SRV]

Hello, All. I've been living in a Small Rural Village in the corn belt for almost five years now. My wife and I moved here because its a little less than an hour away from her grandkids. I am a baby-boomer with a mainline liberal protestant background and progressive leanings. You might have guessed that not everyone shares those leanings around here. And, my wife and I are what some might call "unequally yoked." I have time to read, yet fellowship and community are becoming issues, I'm feeling a bit isoated. I do volunteer in various capacities at the community food pantry and am looking, now that covid seems tamed, for other opportunities to grow in faith while serving others. I've been a persistent visitor at some local churches for worship and study, on and off, but haven't taken that last step of membership in any congregation. I'm here hoping to find some niche where I might fit in. Thanks to all who keep this going.

You may recall the scripture, “in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path”. You might try that in all your ways and see what happens. ☝️
Prov.3

1. 
   [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Welcome to the forum. I helps me too to be here. To express the things on my heart for people. And to get involved a little. My church here really helps with teaching me what I need for life. No man is an island. It would be easier to be friendly in a small town, but you have really bitten off a lot before having a quality of life…

Greetings, SRV. There are a lot of areas on this site where you might fit in. Keep scrolling down the main page even when you think you're about to hit the bottom; there may be still more to discover.

Hi and welcome.

CF is generally conservative. (Want to see a defense of the flat earth? Of Putin? You’ve come to the right place.) You will find a few mainline folks, but not in any one place. There is a liberal forum, but it gets little activity.
