Thanks for checking out my blog! I...Macilicutty,<br />Thanks for checking out my blog! I've seen you on Facebook and on Susie's blog...I love your comments there.<br />Thanks for the input -- I needed that. I love my church, but sometimes I wish it was bigger. I'm learning that, like you said, the size doesn't matter -- it's the heart and the Holy Spirit.Melissa Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645691221964828580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222840922445527543.post-2018206407575702692009-08-20T22:06:21.082-07:002009-08-20T22:06:21.082-07:00i go to a Small Church but God knows Right Where i...i go to a Small Church but God knows Right Where it is.<br />There's Days i think ,This is the city why can't this be a bigger Church what can i do to expand the amount of People.<br />It does frustrate the Pastor,sometimes he gets a little gloomy about the building fund not rising to the top.<br />But God has a reason for Everything on just how it is and the size he has made it,So since its his church i have left it in his will,to bring the people or for the people to Grow in Christ.Maybe thats all that matters is the people that are there to Grow deeper In Christ.<br />I came from a church of 1,600 or so,<br /> moved to another state -the church was smaller about 150-a shock-every one was related some how or another.<br /> The Small Church Has So Much Love for each other. So big or small i have been to both-<br />God's Pressence is there no matter the size of the Church or how many attened.<br />Isn't it amazing how his Pressence brings us Peace in our Lives.<br />-Proud to be His,<br />~MagilicuttyMagilicuttyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03708448566203325936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222840922445527543.post-91886140201857389512009-08-20T16:39:47.926-07:002009-08-20T16:39:47.926-07:00Thanks for your thoughts, KK!

I love "tycoon" games and strategies, so sometimes I fall into the trap of thinking of my church as a tycoon -- "How many people can I get here? What can we do to become the biggest, most-thriving church in Texas?" I know it seems weird, but sometimes I actually find myself thinking that. ;)Melissa Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645691221964828580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222840922445527543.post-77047888167238884882009-08-20T15:26:11.169-07:002009-08-20T15:26:11.169-07:00I used to go to a really small church, so I totall...I used to go to a really small church, so I totally know what kind-of church you go to! I loved being in a small church and knowing everyone. I mean, obviously sometime you wish there were more people, but it is nice knowing everyone. However, a few years ago, my family and I felt God leading us to change churches and we now go to one of the biggest churches in Iowa! It has like 6,000 members or something! So, it was a huge change for me since I had only grown up in big churches. But I know that God had us switch for a reason. I still struggle with it being super big sometimes, but our church really does a good job of making it available so that you can get to know people well. Even in my big youth group I feel like I at least recognize everyone. It has taken a while to get used to it, but now I love my church! Which is really shocking to me because I always thought I wouldn't like going to a big church! Funny how things change quickly! lol. So, just thought I would tell you what my church is like!<br /><br />KK from IAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
