Being inviting
Posted by admin on June 14th, 2009 filed in UncategorizedSometimes it is hard to know when your being inviting or being overbearing. I always try to welcome new people and talk to people who are new, if I remember I try to invite them to lunch. It is important to be inviting expecailly in a new congregation where most people are new, and unfamilar with the order. Sometimes visitors will tell me, I don’t know about this or that, and I lately have been trying very hard to make things simple for people, because I know if it seems overwhelming then it easier for people to not want to come back, and frankly I would love to see us grow in size.
Now I know some people think they have to push their beliefs on others and get them to act exactly like they and believe the same way. If questions are ask it a bunch of don’t do this or that and that’s just overwhelming. For me I know when I am needing to change it needs to be something G-d shows me or I learn from the sermon, probably not change when I am told everything I do is pretty much wrong. So I have tried to act more how I want to be treated with the new comes and how I was treated by others when I first started my journey at this church.
It would be like just trying a diet pill with out looking diet pills reviewed and telling people about it with no knowledge.
