I, too, was amazed at how hard it was to find my way around a new church. "Are there any couples' Sunday school classes?" I asked one man. "Ummmmmm. . . .hmmmmm.... I think we have one, but I'm not sure where they meet," he said. I wound up in an old folks class (no offense to you old folks). Believe it or not, I attended for over 3 months before, by persistently asking around, I finally found the "secret" room where a couples' class met. A less persistent visitor would certainly have been discouraged. Currently, I'm making notes of suggestions from a visitor's point of view to present to the church leadership (if I can figure out where THEY meet). This experience has reminded me to look out for visitors and welcome them. Thanks for the double reminder!Lori Hatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675180460653949981noreply@blogger.com
