That has been years ago the saints have remained and been faithful however it's not home. I feel for the older saints of this assembly.

I wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts about the older saints. Two of them visited a different church on Sunday morning for the first time in 50 years, and we're very uncomfortable. Although they enjoyed the message, the music was too contemporary and the preacher didn't wear a suit and tie! Each church develops their own culture, so church will never be the same. They'll probably check out another church. *smile*
