Our second visit provided a more realistic preview of our new church. We were able to hear the pastor preach and to go to the Sunday school class for married couples our age. We really connected with the members of this class who are very friendly and outgoing. The Sunday School teacher focused on the history of Israel and connected it with what is going on in the region today.
One of the major differences in this church is the number of opportunities offered to fellowship as a couple in small groups. On Sunday evenings, members of our Sunday School class have a potluck dinner, while our children attend a class at church. In addition, each month, college students offer babysitting on Fridays. This is a great idea!
We enjoyed the sermon, which addressed sin. The pastor discussed the importance of striving to do the right thing, but said humans are programmed to fail. However, when we sin, it is important to get back up. He used an analogy of a baby learning to walk, falling, and getting back up. It is important never to give up.
