[Faith-talk] Getting Dragged to Church

[melissa R Green]

I grew up in the church.  I
sang in the choir and mom was
on different bords.  But I
know how some kids rebel
against the church.  I never
did because of what my mom
instilled in me, and the same
with my dad.  I never saw it
as being forced or dragged to
church.  I did have friends
that felt that way.  I am glad
that I was taught that church
can be anywhere, even out
doors.  The only thing that I
had a problem with was being
dressed up all of the time,
and many people couldn't aford
nice clothing and these people
would be judged by others.  So
I am glad that they have the
idea of clothing not being a
huge thing and that it is
important to get people to
know the lord and in the doors
than it is to judge them by
their clothing.  


Warmly,
Melissa R. Green and Pj
It is 'where we are' that
should make all the
difference, whether we believe
we belong there or not.

Getting Dragged to Church

My daughters have grown up in
the Church and there is pretty
much an
understanding that on Sundays
we will be at Church and
during the school
year they will be at the
Church on Wednesday evenings
for dinner and Awana.
In the summer we do a lot of
camping and four wheeling out
of town as do
many of our Church members so
Church is a little more
sporadic, depending on
if we are in town.
At this point the nefues and
neases all know that if they
are here on
Sunday's they are going to
Church and none of them have a
problem because it
has just always been that way
in our home. My daughters
friends all go to
Church even if not the same
Church as us. We have a strong
bus ministry at
our Church so around 40 to 50
kids a week ride on our bus
route alone so
this means that several of my
daughters friends in the
neighbor hood
automatically go to Church.
Our Church is rather large and
our daughters go to school
there and that
kind of makes it their second
home. As soon as they walk in
to Church they
see teachers, class mates and
dozens of other people that
they have met over
the years and this makes it a
very, very familiar place to
them.

Dear Members,

How many of you were dragged
to chchrch when you were
little? I remember
going to church with my family
each and every Sunday morning.
As I have
gotten older I have enjoyed
these times with my family
members.  I'd like to
hear your thoughts on this
topic.
