Welcome to the neighborhood!

One of the first few weekends in my new town and I think I finally found a church.....

Today was the first time I attended, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It reminds me of my parent's church so that is comforting....

Ten minutes into the sermon an older man comes into church late and sits next to me. Afterwards we are walking out and he begins to ask me questions and when I realize that I forgot my umbrella in the pew we say our polite good-byes... or so I thought.

As I am walking out umbrella in tow I notice he is standing by the exit... Odd okay... maybe waiting for rain to slow down, good that I have mine. As the nice and respectful person I am I graciously offer to him to his car with my umbrella... we're at church and he's an older man.

As we walk, he begins to tell me how he is single... I am sure my face flinched.

When we get to his car (he wanted to walk me to mine, no thank you).... he asks me if I have a business card. Someone once advised me to carry my business cards -- sometimes it's good not to have them I say.

When I say I don't have them with me, he then asks me for my number. I politely decline again.

They have a greeting session for all new members after church, but I don't think this is what they were talking about... He won't keep me from going back, but maybe I'll make more of an effort to attend an earlier session.
