My friends and their kids go to these churches. Not only did I visit, but I made snacks for the kids and volunteer. Our churches arent simply religious organizations- they are community organizations.
You have to understand that I live in a real community. I cant go anywhere in this town without running into someone I know. I know most of the store owners and their families. I stop and chat with the librarian when I see her at the grocery store. Our State Representative kisses me on the cheek when he sees me. The lady at the video store lets my son sell cubscout popcorn outside her store... it goes on and on and on. It's a great place for kids to grow up.
