[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, our church was packed this morning -- the flowers were lovely, the sermon inspiring, music beautiful.  Maybe you were there -- maybe it was the first time in a while.  It was so great to have you with us.  Now, will you come back next Sunday?  Why or why not?     [/quote]

No, I only go on easter and Christmas for the special music.  Like many others responding here -- I'm not at all inclined to make it a weekly habit.

The sermon at the church I went to was aimed at children, saying how special it was that Jesus died for their sins, and like Jesus, they too can live forever, because they believe in him.

[b]I know this is the standard Christian story,[/b] but it sounds just like another children's fairy tale when you don't hear it every Sunday.  I wondered how many of those kids would still believe it when they were adults.[/quote]

I know you don't mean it this way, but I find this line to be offensive.

It's not the "standard Christian story." It is the central and only reason for the Christian faith.

Since we regulars are being so careful not to offend our twice-yearly visitors, please remember when you do visit that people there believe and live this faith.[/quote]
