“Happy Birthday Violet… Happy Birthday to you.. and many more…

Violet is the lady on the left, and a good friend of the Aldrich Family, Lee, Al, Jill, Alyssa and Jaime, and you know who is in the middle, ME!

This picture was taken as we  were leaving Church and just as there is a nice  bulletin board on the wall in the foyer or  that which is called the entrance area.

This is  just so you  and or visitors can get to know what some of the people look like and their names, you will  also find photos  as well as the above photo  “ours” on display.

That  will make it easier for you to have the name of the person or family that you would want to  meet and  also talk to… as this all makes for an easy introduction.

Also… one important note… all the members meet and usually enjoy a breakfast or lurch, all depending on the times and what is going on.

This was a very friendly Church with members taking part in a lot of the different programs and or teachings which were  made available in the evening hours.  Always lots of activities to keep you active in the Church  and I knew that this was not Violet’s regular Church,  but I thought that she would enjoy going with our family and  if there was ever a time that she would like for us to pick her up  in the future, and bring her, that was something that we  would enjoy doing.

When  you are going to Church on a regular time frame,  I just feel that it is a good idea to check with  your “Neighbors”   and be friendly,  just to see if there is someone in or around the neighborhood, that would also like to attend.

So many of our friends and neighbors are senior citizens  today, and no longer drive  and sometimes have no way to attend a Church but… they  so very much would like to be included, but are too embarrassed to ask for the opportunity to go with you, but  would say   “yes”  if ever someone would just ask them?

When you are talking with friends, always  include somewhere in the conversation  some things that you are doing, your new  activity and or Church attending, when and where and how you feel about what you are doing.

At that time, would be good to ask that person,  that you are talking to with… “Would you like to go, sometime??  Then follow up with,  “I’d like to take you along with us and if you need,  we will pick you up on the way and bring you home?”  

Tell them to just think about the Church and or  whatever they are also  interested in  and  then add,  “If you are not ready right now,  just think about it, here is my phone number, just call me anytime as the offer  still stands, now and  for as long as  you  may want to think about it?”  

“OKAY?”         “OKAY!”         D.V.
