I've been thinking I would like to go to church, but I don't know anyone. I don't know what to do, where to go, what to expect when I get there. It's hard and it feels awkward to do anything for the first few times. Here are some suggestions: Have you noticed a church near you or one you drive by often? If not, check the phone book. Call the church office. You should find a friendly voice to talk to. (Some churches don't have a full-time staff. If no ones there leave a message so they can get back to you.) If you'd like, ask to be matched up with someone in the church, any of us would love to meet you even before you attend. That way, you will know someone before you come! Also, we could pick you up Sunday morning, meet you for breakfast or coffee before church or at least meet you in the parking lot to show you where to go and what to do. Stop by a church on a weekday and ask someone to show you around so the place doesn't feel so foreign when you come on Sunday. Just show up. Check out when the worship service starts. Many churches have greeters to help you as you enter the sanctuary. If you'd like, ask them to introduce you to someone you can sit with. 5. |

 I read an article about a woman who was busted for driving in a carpool lane with a mannequin. The officer pulled her over and, as it turns out, she had dressed up a mannequin with a brunette wig, makeup and stylish clothing. The officer, knowing what was going on, asked for the woman's driver's license and registration and then asked for the mannequin's I.D. as well. The woman was not amused. The woman told the officer she saw no problem with her dummy, since everyone else was doing it. Really? Click Here to continue.... |
