Notes -
A lot of the time when dating comes up, someone will say “go and join your local church”. At least in my case, I go to (Catholic) Mass on Sundays but it’s a church service not a social occasion so I don’t meet people.
What people seem to mean is “join a community centred around a church” which is a rather different thing. Can anyone give me some advice about what kind of groups / notices I ought to look for? I’m not in Europe or America which makes things a bit harder.
Maybe it's a protestent thing, ours has a fellowship hour following service every Sunday. There's tea, coffee, pastries, fruit, sandwiches, etc., in the fellowship hall.
There are also bible study groups, and opportunities for volunteering in support of church activities.
Why can't it be a church service and a social occasion? Does anyone linger to chat? Is there a bulletin, worship guide or website that lists upcoming activities? Are there any organized activities for the feast days?
I've only lived in Europe and the US, my experience may not translate.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll have a look. It’s a big city church in Asia, with services every couple of hours. Possibly too big. I could look for something smaller and more local but I’m not really spoilt for choice. There are lots of missionaries from evangelical sects but that’s not really my kind of thing. Still, I’ll keep an eye out for such things at my church.
