This week's dilemma is from Adam, who says he's finding it hard to feel accepted at his local church.
 
He feels as though there's some kind of barrier between him and the people at his church. He says although the people are lovely, kind and generous, he is frustrated that he always seems to be the one initiating social outings.

He approaches people at his church who pray with him, and encourage him. But Adam says he doesn't feel truly accepted or a real part of the Christian community at his church, despite his best efforts at reaching out.

Adam goes to a small church in a country town where he’s lived for the last twenty years. He has recently returned to church after a number of years not going anywhere.

Should you stick with a church? Or move on somewhere else where you do feel truly part of the church community/church life?

What does it take to feel truly part of a church? Is it measured in number of years in attendance? Weekly involvement? Good social life?
