You can still involve them and expose them to outreach/missional living by doing things they can come along for - maybe dropping food off at a food bank or delivering a meal to a neighbor...you name it, you'll know what they can do.<BR/><BR/>As for community, Amy (How'd I End Up Here) blogged about that last week. I personally find community through several avenues, and they don't necessarily over-lap. Find out if there is a local Natural-living minded group of folks...I have great community with the gals that particiapte in that, although most of the homeschool and I don't. I have found comm. through the girls' school bc I voluntter there, trough my daughter's friends Moms, Church, and within that with people that are more progressive/missional minded, and through the soup kitchen. Oh, and not to forget my loval Knitting group -I suppose you could google (or check Ravelry) to see if there are any that meet in your area - you know you'll make instant friends there!<BR/>And online...great sense pf communit there, - look! I found YOU online! : )<BR/><BR/>I know that sounds like a lot of pots to stick my spoon in, but it keeps me well connected both in physical and spiritual community. It has a lot to do with just sticking yourself out there. In fact, when I was new to the community I live in, La Leche League is where I got my start. I met a friend who got me into church, and I also made other connections that I still have. Before that I was dreadfully lonely and wondering what to do and how to do it.<BR/><BR/>Hope that gives you something of what you were looking for...I sorta went off on a tangent there! HA!<BR/><BR/>Love ya, Sis!Mellie_Blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719830551500486836noreply@blogger.com
