Thanks for the thoughtful article. I think many can resonate with the great difference between a friendly church and a church where you find friends. Our busy lives mitigate against the Friday night hanging out encounters that are so important for really knowing each other. May the Lord help us become the family He intends us to be.
Thanks for the helpful insights, Larry. I think we do tend towards a "no" culture in the CRC, and I can see that the first person to change will have to be myself. But, yes, I like the possibilities!

Thanks for that great story about your mom. Those human connections are the important things in life. May the Lord bless your mom in her adjustment.
