A few people spoke to us but only really because we made the effort to stick around...if I was a nervous non-Christian we would have been in and out without speaking to anyone. <br />I think the bigger the church the harder it is because people always think that someone else will talk to the stranger and you don't want to say 'hi! are you new?' to someone who has been going for 20 years but you've just never seen them before!<br /><br />I've got to be honest...talking to new people scares me a lot - but it's so important.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952827342114488909noreply@blogger.com
