Not Making friends at church---where am I going wrong Help!!!!!?

2013-07-15 8:16 am
I have been attending a church for about 5 years now. My mother found the church for my brothers and I because at the time we were beginning to become disillusioned with the church and Christianity. We began going to the church in high school and now myself and my brother are in college. I ended up liking the church and its youth group so much that I began inviting my friends from school (who no longer attend the church, i became a member and got baptized. I believed that it was amazing and refreshing to see young people so on fire for God. I also got involved with the children's ministry where I met a few adults. I began to however want to make friendships with people of my age group. Myself and a friend began to then attend classes with the young people at church only to find that most were extremely unfriendly. In order to get involved at church there is a sign up sheet, which an individual will call you to give you more information. Now we both wanted to be involved with the youth choir so we signed up and no one called us. As a result I went to the desk at church and asked about it. One of the ladies told us the exact day and time of rehearsals and we randomly showed up. When we finally got to church for rehearsal we were met with a mixed bag of "friendly people " and people who starred at us and gave us very rude looks. My friend and I left the rehearsal feeling slightly uncomfortable, but decided to give it another try. The next time we went to church we went around trying to remember names and being friendly with the people we had met. However, within an hour this all changed and we continued to feel lonely and isolated. After this we chose to leave the choir and my friend chose to leave the church. But I didn't want to give up so I chose to try to find a small group. Now for small groups I tried on various occasions to join in and they have been failures each time. I have seen people go to my church and get involved and connected in less than a year for some reason I'm still having trouble. I don't want to give up on this place because it is a good church otherwise. I don't know if this makes a difference but the church is majority Latino/ Latina. Even those who are black are Latino, however I am Afro Caribbean .

It is normal to find people like these even if they call themselves good christians inside any church. Others may even look very friendly but are actually superficial. The only help you can give these people is to always pray for them. God knows their hearts and you as a good member of your church had been given a task by God and an obligation to correct this. Haven't you observed it, they don't understand and feel what is happening but you had been given the opportunity by God to understand their needs. Your eyes and ears had been opened to let you see the truth what is happening inside the church. Be thankful because of all the people active inside your church, why is it that you are the one being befriended. There is a reason. God is trying to talk to you through these situations. Praying for these people and allowing God to touch their hearts will be your big responsibility, for in their hearts God finds emptiness. So by this time, ask God for guidance from the Holy Spirit, giving you the wisdom and the knowledge to deal with everyone. You will indeed have a major role to play and if you survive this, there is a wonderful blessing waiting for you. All things are possible with God.

you and your friend are the church. God said where TWO or three are gathered together in my name. God did not say a bunch of hypocrites inside a building pretending to be something they're not
