I do think those relationships take time. Don’t give up. I think you’re doing the right things… serving with people is the best (in my opinion) way to develop connections & friendships.

Sometimes our “season of life” impacts the speed at which we develop friendships. There’s something about that transition from being a young adult to a working professional &/or becoming parents that seems to shift peoples’ focus more inward. Now I’m rambling…

All that to say, keep doing what you’re doing, be patient, & don’t give up!

You two are such great leaders for the church! You go out of your way to make us feel accepted! I would have to say that it is hard for us as a couple at this point to make any real friendships in the church. We have joined the weekly Bible studies, Matt plays in the band and I hope to continue to serve and volunteer with the coffee bar. We love your teaching and really want to plug in, but for some reason it is hard for us to make friends! Which is weird since both of us came from places where we had lots of friends. I feel we are doing something wrong. Just my ramblings about not wanting to have a “Dawn” relationship with the church!
