Being part of a small church is very special and is something we rejoice in and consider a blessing in both communities, in the words of Carl Dudley in "Effective Small Churches in 21st Century":
In a big world, the small church has remained intimate.
In a fast world, the small church has been steady.
In an expensive world, the small church has remained plain.
In a complex world, the small church has remained simple.
In a rational world, the small church has kept feelings.
In a mobile world, the small church has been an anchor.
In an anonymous world, the small church calls us by name."
Amen!
