On Sunday we had a number of visitors. I met most of them. Two were young singles recently out of college who moved into town and are checking out churches. Both probably feel somewhat alone, moving into a new city by themselves. This was the first visit to Anchor for both of them. The fact that they are checking out churches, trying different ones, tells much about them.

The guy graduated a year ago from a Christian college in another city. He’s originally from around Cleveland, and just started a new job here in Fort Wayne. He found Anchor through our website. A lot of people do, we’ve found. If a church doesn’t have a listing on the web, they should. The girl graduated from Huntington University a year ago and moved to Fort Wayne in March. A wonderful girl with a UB background.

Both will probably decide on a church and become active there. They struck me as those kinds of kids. I don’t know if either will settle down at Anchor. But I’m delighted that we made them feel very comfortable and people spoke at length with both of them. Because I know that if they’re checking out other churches, they’ll encounter some where they slip in and out, and nobody seems to notice. At Anchor, we notice. And that makes me smile.
