Weekly Gathering

Excerpt from Dan Kimball post:  Fascinating to look at your church from someone else's perspective

...


I recently was reading reviews of churches across America on another web site that a Christian hosts - and the weirdest part to me, is that the church review is always about "Sunday". For Christians as we think of church, we shouldn't be thinking you visit on a Sunday and that is what you then think of the church. That is one meeting of the church. To truly understand a church, you would want to know what the church does all week long. What other meetings and community do they have?  How do the people of the church treat their neighbors? Are they respected in their community? etc. Not just evaluate the Sunday meeting..... But this writer of the blog, states he is an atheist so this wouldn't apply to him - as it is understandable you define church by "Sunday". But I hope as Christians we will think of "church" as all week long and on Sunday is when the larger group may all meet together - but church is not defined by the Sunday meeting.

Anyway - here  is the blog article that he wrote about his visit to our church - complete with good and bad things he observed. I did like that he thought I was young.
