Olivious
I'm really, really tired of non-friendly, non-welcoming churches. I went to two different churches today and was greeted by a total of TWO people-- and one doesn't really count because it was her job to greet everyone at the door! It wasn't like I was in the midst of hundreds of people-- this morning's service was about 40 people while this evenings totaled 19!! What's going on? Whatever happened to welcoming the stranger? Whatever happened to "...and they'll know we are Christians by our love..."?? How can a conversation with a fellow member override extending a welcome to a visitor? How many unbelievers visit churches and never return because of this sort of thing? I just don't get it. I just don't get it.

Hi there! I literally just stumbled on your blog and read this post. I want to invite you to my amazing church where we are very welcoming! It's a bit of a drive from the West Valley but well worth it. It's called Life Connection Church and it's off the 17 on Indian School Rd. here is our website, it would be great if you come check us out www.lifeconnectionchurch.net. We also have small groups that meet in Verrado and the West Valley during the week. Maybe we will have a chance to meet. I work in the Verrado Realty office on Main St. in Verrado.
