This week our church experience was completely different from last week's, small, friendly church that we attended in Montana. We were driving through South Dakota, looked up churches in Sioux Falls and ended up at Faith Family Church. When we got there we were practically escorted in by bodyguards up to the second floor balcony seating to the farthest seats in the back. The church was very lively and big and their worship was great, but not a single person greeted us or talked to us other than shaking are hands. I was really disappointed by this since we are out on the road and don't meet friendly people all the time we can talk to and you'd think that a church would be a good place to find people to talk to. I'll definitely be more quick now though to greet guests at our church when we get home.
The service was really good though and it was interesting to hear at a church that is not Messianic at all; one of the pastors talking about Shabbat and explaining the Jewish blessings parents speak over their children, and encouraging the parents to bless their children in the same way. Hmm... Perhaps churches are starting to catch God's heart for Israel and the Jews?
Other than that, we liked their coffee store in the church called 'HeBrews'. I think every church should have a coffee shop in it personally!
