Does your church do anything in the community it is located in ?

Why or why not ?

That's sort of how our congregation is. Most drive ~30 minutes or more and it's hard to organize church activities.

Thanks for responding, David

Has there been any talk of organizing anything by anyone ?

By the way, folks, thanks for your responses. I'm encouraged.

I'm going to point a few people over to this thread in a bit.....

Ummm, not really. To be honest, I wouldn't go if we did things there regularly or at one of the members' houses. It's just too much time and gas. Originally I started going there because I thought I needed to in order to maintain doctrinal purity. This has become a bothersome issue for me as of late.
