Why do so many groups, worship communities, and clubs ignore the newcomer, the strangest in their mist? It may be shyness, but more often we have forgotten why we are there in the first place. The newcomer is our reminder. They are looking for connections, for help with a problem, for a way out of loneliness or a search for God, something or someone to fill them up. The newcomer is a reminder of where we once were or could be if we ignore the world around us. Paying attention to only the people you know can become a rut. Don’t dig a path too deep. You may find yourself trapped someday.
