Comments on: Let’s Stop Doing Church http://sonnycable.com/2008/12/18/lets-stop-doing-church/ Just a few things I want to say Mon, 13 Dec 2010 21:24:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chris http://sonnycable.com/2008/12/18/lets-stop-doing-church/comment-page-1/#comment-599 Chris Thu, 18 Dec 2008 19:30:44 +0000 http://sonnycable.com/?p=696#comment-599 I do not attend church regularly enough, and the idea of a house church, or small group sounds great to me. I went for a while to a very large church here in South Florida, and it was good for a time. The people were very nice and welcoming, until I began going regularly. I really began to feel like I was overlooked when new people came in, and it makes sense since an average service might have well over 1000 people, and this church actually had three services on Sunday morning, and separate services in foreign languages in other parts of the church at the same time. Needless yo say, I gradually went less and less, and went back to my wife's church where at least I could spend time with her. We do not go very often anymore. We have a 4 year old and a 2 year old (Alyssa and Sara). They like to make lots of noise during the service, and the church has no daycare, quiet room, or anything of the sort. So when we went we were spending half the time out of the service, and just got tired. we went again last Sunday to see a Baptism, and the girls were all over the place. Once again to make a long story short, a house church type setting might be the best thing as there would possibly be a place for the children. I also like to talk, debate, and discuss so it would also extend that opportunity as well. Love you all, and a very Merry Christmas Chris I do not attend church regularly enough, and the idea of a house church, or small group sounds great to me.
