I think that fellowship is sooooo important as a church body. We go to a teeeeeny tiny church (six-eight families) but I love it because Wwe’re all so close!!! we often go to Wendy’s or something after church. Eating together is incredibly important to relationships, that’s why they’re making such a big deal of families eating together. The church is supposed to be a family (don’t get me started on the deteriorating state of the church…it’s my dad’s favorite soapbox), so hello, I think that church fellowships are awesome. Our church has a fellowship once a month. Another friend’s church has a churchwide dinner every week after church. I think that’s great, too.

Of course, because you have to beat the Methodists/Presbyterians/Catholics/whoever to the buffet line at Luby’s/Piccadilly Cafeteria! (And you especially want to beat the Baptists there. Take it from a recovering Baptist. I know these things!)

I know at our church we have so few 2o-somethings, that those we do have are leaving because there’s nothing for them. We can try and create things, but without the people to join, it’s a no-win case. Sometimes finding a new church is really what we’re supposed to do.
