The churches I have been to are very closed off. They have the friends they have always had, do things the way they've always done them, and do not think about including others. When you go out of your way to try to get friends together it is so diffiuclt and even if they say they will do it they beg off before it actually takes place.

I guess Texas is an animal all her own. Not very friendly. They are a bit arrogant and snobbish. Just my observation out of the past two years.

Its not Texas it is the church your in. I am in the same situation here. This is probably the friendliest church I have ever been to "inside" the church. But NO fellowship outside of it.

Each church has it's unique dynamics and I am facing the same thing you are, but being older it is not the issue for me that it would be if I was 20 years or so younger.
