If you, Kellie, S&S, etc are truly serving your local community (and therefore, worshipping) you WILL be around the economically, socially and generationally diverse etc. Thus, your community is your "congregation" regardless if they sit in your home through bible lessons. I can't imagine my kid not being around Obi-Wan, the Sanfords, and countless others. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I've pondered this a lot as I'm starting to raise children. The wife & I wanted to raise them within the community, doing all the same stuff we do as opposed to "withdrawing" them (ie: home school, private church school, church friends only, etc). But when they get older and want to join some church's youth group, that'll be fine by me.Agent Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722186597399802204noreply@blogger.com
