“Attending a house church…”

Wow I didn’t know so many people attended home churches, my dream! I find in churches of 500 or more it’s hard to be closer in fellowship with others, they seem to get “clicky” fast though I’m sure any would come to our home to eat dinner with us, but we probably wouldn’t get asked into their’s though I know it’s not point…

I found when I went to churches with fewer in number we became like a family.

I love when we stay home Sunday nights to rest on our one day as a family to rest together from all our work. But our church reminds those who are at church each time the door opens those are more faithful. Makes me feel guilty. But then I remember are we really *resting* on Sunday if we have to rush out our family of 5 a few hrs after the morning service? We can worship at home too. 🙂

Sorry I’m of no help, but wanted to add I’m *jealous* too.

Your right no system is perfect…but there are some that seem to have more advantages. 😆

I would love to be in a fellowship of believers where there is more like-mindedness..not just in homeschooling and courtship but in lots of other areas too. Thankfully God is doing a great and mighty work in our current church. But my heart yearns for a small fellowship of believers that also share the same convictions (or close to them) that God has led us to.

Thank you Rachel for your wonderful commentary above. I know that God is working and it will be exciting to see the fruit of His Spirit in the American church in the coming years…no matter how scary the future may be, it will all be for His glory and our sanctification. To God be the Glory.
