Did I want to return there? More than likely, not.<BR/><BR/>Our church is very intentional about this--we welcome people, talk with them--every week find someone we don't know and spend a little time with them, introducing them to someone we do know. <BR/><BR/>I have to say that I have made a lot of new acquaintances and friends this way, so it is a blessing to everyone!<BR/><BR/>And WAY TO GO, KENNY!!! I was hoping you would let us know how his college career turned out--170 women coming to Christ in two years!! I can just imagine the party going on in Heaven every time one of them is baptized!!<BR/><BR/>Bethsailorcrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378552999540084798noreply@blogger.com
