We Have Two Great Churches
Read: Galatians 3:26
Our Florida church and our Michigan church. In our early winters in Florida we tried attending many different churches, but none felt right. After attending a church a few Sundays, people smiled and said hello, nothing else. Not the least bit friendly like our Grosse Pointe United Methodist church home.
We were invited by several of our Florida neighbors to attend their church. The congregation was friendly, the minister was friendly and delivered really interesting sermons. They have fellowship time after the service where they serve coffee, juices and snacks. Everyone speaks to you, asks where you are from, invites you to their pancake breakfast, their annual shrimp boil, the weekly men's prayer breakfast....
As we thought about this, even though this church was a different denomination, we realized we were still worshiping the same God, the same Bible stories and singing many of the same hymns. The church building or name wasn't what attracted us, it was the people in that church building.
