As an elder at ACRC, I try to keep in touch with my Shephering group members. What's difficult for me is calling members that I haven't seen at church for some time, and so I try to put it off. However, today I decided to call all those who I don't see.
One of my people explained to me that he just doesn't think this is the right time for him to be affiliated with any specific church. But he was seemed receptive to talking so I invited to take him out for lunch. He said he'd like that.
I was fully expecting to be turned down but next Monday I will meet him for lunch. May God bless our time together.

That's got to be the hardest part for any volunteer effort...those who drop out and time passes and then you don't quite know how to handle it. But, lunch is a great, non-threatening place and everyone likes to eat so I'm thinking you're going to learn a lot about the world during your time together.
