I just died.
hahahaha!!! That’s so, so good!
You should come down and visit ours! lololol.
The politics are way better and we’re pretty big too…. and we have an army. (I’m referring to the song…… haha!)
I don’t have anyone my age, but I take time to invest in the lives of the little girls and be an older sister to them, and to sit and talk with the women and learn from them and listen to them. They like to talk too, and they can be just as interesting as girls my age, (or even more so!)

Guess who introduced me to that song?
You got it: my grandparents XD

Here is a chart I was given at one of our C&C events going over some of the views. I think it gets Amillennialism a little wrong. (It seems to be made by Premillennials). I know I said Post earlier, but I think my pastor is actually a Pre. You might need to open this image in a new tab to read everything on it. One thing not mentioned on here that is believed by the Premillennials is that right before the Tribulation, Gentials will stop being saved and an entire generation of Jews will become Christians.
This does not include Pan-Millenialism though, which I try to fall into. I haven’t looked so much into the Amillennialism and Post views, but each one of the end times views has it’s problems. When I look at Christ’s first coming, I also see no one got it right. The Pharisees, Deciples, and crowds were all expecting the Christ to be something else. It makes me wounder if anyone has gotten Christ’s second coming right. So as a Pan-Millenialist, I belive that it will all pan out in the end. Only God truly knows what will happen, and whatever he does will be right and amazing, bringing glory to Him.

At parties, I hang out with the younger kids and have a lot of fun with them, but after church most of the younger kids are racing around on rolling chairs, even though we’ve been specifically told not to.😅
If you want to find all the cops, they're hanging out in the donut shop.
SIX KIDS?
Tell your parents I admire them. A lot. XD

Ha ha! That’s a bit of a loooong trip for me.

yeah, well have you tried talking with the women, or even sitting and listening to the adults talk?

or you could gather the kids and play a game with them. I used to do that all the time when they were younger.

I don’t remember hearing about your church on the news (I’ve watched news streams that have included some news from Canada) but I remember hearing about Artur Pawlowski and his church. And then in ’22 of course I heard about the Freedom Convoy and that was super exciting to see so many people taking a stand for freedom.
I think I would agree with you that church was meant to be smaller communities of believers. I don’t think it’s wrong to be part of a bigger church, but I think that means you have to be more intentional in creating community somehow, whether through small groups or some other means. I love my church, but it is pretty big (usually around 600 people per service, and we have 2 services) and this is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I don’t like walking into church and feeling like I don’t really know anyone until I finally find someone I do know. I used to know a lot more people, before it got so big, but now some weeks I feel like I could just walk in and leave again without talking to anyone.
I have been going to a weekly small group that has been providing community for me- we often have a Bible study and sharing what God is teaching us, as well as some music and singing and a time of fellowship, and it has been feeding me spiritually, often more than church on Sunday mornings. The small group has been growing, though, and while it’s so good I want other people to know about it and join in, there’s also a part of me that’s hesitant because the bigger it gets, the less personal connection there will be with other believers. I’ve had to start processing that with God over the past few months. This particular group isn’t correlated directly with my church; it’s a bunch of young adults from various churches in the area who are all hungry for more of God.
My parents also have been involved in a small group at my church, and I think there is also value in that, because they usually take whatever the week’s sermon topic was and dive deeper into that together and make it more applicable. So I think there are ways to have a healthy Biblical community within a larger church, but it is definitely more challenging, and the people attending have to be intentional about joining a small group or starting one themselves.

My church rarely has over a hundred people at each mass. We usually have a coffee hour after. I know that, at a lot of other churches I’ve been to, coffee hour is kind of…boring. But there’s always something entertaining going on. There’s always hot chocolate for the kids, and there is NEVER a time that goes by where someone doesn’t spill it, to the point where some kids are forbidden from having any because they spill it so much. XD And then you’ve got people talking in frenglish and sometimes–although this is rarer now that people are in winter clothes–we’ll get in a circle, play some music, and dance.
If it sounds like I’m being all “lemme tell you about something great that I love while you sit there nodding like uh-huh can we move on” than yes, that is exactly what is happening lol
