church membership

Finding a church in a new town—ugh. In a city with 200,000+ population, my husband and I have more than 300 churches to consider. Harder than shopping for shoes when your feet hurt.

Why? In church, a visitor enters as a spectator rather than a participant.

Behind the warm welcome to newcomers beats the hearts of a roomful of sinners, of whom I am chief. Why should I expect more of a church than my own life attests?
