Our journey of visiting fifty-two churches is over, though the memories will last forever. Here are some of my church reflections from this year-long adventure.
Consider these two discussion questions about our journey of visiting churches:
1. I hope the questions have spurred a lot of great ideas. But without action, great ideas amount to nothing.
What are the top three things you want to start doing differently?
2. In visiting churches, one person (and it was seldom the minister) often made the difference between us feeling accepted and rejected. This is one of my key church reflections.
How can you make a difference to the people who visit your church? In addition to changes you want to make in your own interactions with visitors, how can you encourage others to follow your example?
